Ashes

A deadly scheme
Spawned by distorted dreams
My sanity began to fracture at the seams
I should have known by the writing on the ceiling
From tales of knives and no hope of healing

I can see her window

Am I still dreaming
Will this nightmare ever end?

I've got a score to settle
I've wasted all this time
I'm taking back what she always said was mine
Mine
Mine
Mine
Mine

Her pale skin
She let me in
To commit a new kind of sin
Her black hair
The way she lied
Tore at my insides
Her blue eyes
The way she tried
To corrupt what I gave life

My raison detre took a detour through damnation
From the depths of hell I screamed
"Heaven Save Us"

Never get close
One step closer is one closer to death
Never get close
Pray our lips don't touch

Am I
Still dreaming
Will this nightmare ever end?

I've got a score to settle
I've wasted all this time
I'm taking back what she always said was
Mine
Mine
Mine
Mine
Mine

I knew that only through her end could I live again
I knew that only through her end could I live again

She awoke to the sound of shattered glass
A fitting end to her black mass
Can you guess which me you're talking to?
23 stab wounds from 'us' to you

So I ripped open your withered white chest
With joy I tore out what was left of your bullshit black heart
Watched it disappear in the palm of my hand
And set our past ablaze

So I ripped open your withered white chest
With joy I tore out what was left of your bullshit black heart
Watched it disappear in the palm of my hand
And set our past ablaze

As the wood turned to cinders
The fire engulfed the beast that was her
I can breathe again
