Lyrics

I found the beauty in tragedy
Searching for solace in silent screaming
Felt all the power corruption brings
But only solitude remains

Bathed in the blood of my enemies
Malignant spirits still call out to me
And now their voices are deafening
But I can't imagine any other way

Now I’m writhing in the dirt
I love it cause it hurts
It's us against the world
We're not gonna make it

For too long I’ve been stuck in my ways
Playing the part, but emotions decay
Save your compassion, I can't relate
Now that my senses have all but lеft me

Never wantеd to stay, I did anyway
Despite the fact that every act is a sad charade
Driven only by disdain, why pretend that I feel the same?

I tried to open my mind with the sharpest knife
But the incision took my vision and blurred the lines
Got no reason to live, can't forgive myself this time
