Burn
There stood a prison
Constructed of blood and hate
And standing within
The architect and inmate
Their souls divided
But each wears my name
The crime and sentence
Are union one and the same
The shadow grows
A darkness formed by absence
Vitriol flows
Corroding through synapses
The soul decays
A life's half life Elapses
The flesh betrays
The Self Structure collapses
(am I more than what I'm missing?)
I swallowed poison in the hopes that you would fall
I pierced my own heart trying to run you through
I pelted stones at you from behind glassed walls
I lit myself on fire and hoped it burnt you too
I once was blind but for the light now I can see
The scars I wear from self inflicted wounds
For in the end it was not you who bled but me
Out with this funeral pyre I will not burn for you
There stood the gallows
Erected from fathers sin
A noose of harrowing
Truths passed down to his kin
What pardon is there
What means of escape
The hatred warms me
But leaves me cold in the grave
I swallowed poison in the hopes that you would fall
I pierced my own heart trying to run you through
I pelted stones at you from behind glassed walls
I lit myself on fire and hoped it burnt you too
I once was blind but for the light now I can see
The scars I wear from self inflicted wounds
For in the end it was not you who bled but me
Out with this funeral pyre I will not burn for you
I lit myself on fire
And hoped it burnt you too
I swallowed poison in the hopes that you would fall
I pierced my own heart trying to run you through
I pelted stones at you from behind glassed walls
I lit myself on fire and hoped it burnt you too
I once was blind but for the light now I can see
The scars I wear from self inflicted wounds
For in the end it was not you who bled but me
Out with this funeral pyre I will not burn for you
Constructed of blood and hate
And standing within
The architect and inmate
Their souls divided
But each wears my name
The crime and sentence
Are union one and the same
The shadow grows
A darkness formed by absence
Vitriol flows
Corroding through synapses
The soul decays
A life's half life Elapses
The flesh betrays
The Self Structure collapses
(am I more than what I'm missing?)
I swallowed poison in the hopes that you would fall
I pierced my own heart trying to run you through
I pelted stones at you from behind glassed walls
I lit myself on fire and hoped it burnt you too
I once was blind but for the light now I can see
The scars I wear from self inflicted wounds
For in the end it was not you who bled but me
Out with this funeral pyre I will not burn for you
There stood the gallows

I once was blind but for the light now I can see
The scars I wear from self inflicted wounds
For in the end it was not you who bled but me
Out with this funeral pyre I will not burn for you
