Things We Left Behind

I dipped a finger in
And its claws have pulled me back
Black nails caked with blood
The past always attacks
They fed my thirst with gold
We fed their backs with lead
I thought it'd take me down
But time took you instead

If I fell back into my ways
Could you save me
If I took revenge in your name
Would you forgive me

I raised your empire high
And I can burn it down
My war will never end
As long as you're around
I'll bleed them out myself
Your dens of greed and vice
Remember what was said to me
Everything has a price

If I just succumbed to my pain
Would I rest in peace
If I just hold on to your name
Would it wake me

In that moment I received some semblance of hope
An opportunity to grieve un-alone
They took that
From me

They took that from me {took that from me}
Stole that from me {stole that from me}
Took that from me {took that from me}

Killed it from me

{You} You took that from me
{You} You stole that from me
{You} You took that from me
{You} You stole that from me
{You} You took that from me
{You} You stole that from me
{You} You took that from me
{You} You killed that from me

If I killed you here in this way
Would it change me
If I bled you and walked away
Would it free me

If I fell back into my ways
Could you save me
If I took revenge in your name
Would you forgive me
