lyrics

Forced on your back, You feel you need it again
Never look back, Spill these truths I'm ready
“Where you want it” The knife to stick in
Heart through the back

When family attacks defensive shields aren't ready
and hearts can relapse insuring wounds bleed steady
“This you wanted” No time for remorse
Never look back

You left me lying on the floor. I never saw this coming, weakling,
Blinded by trusting someone who'd leave me out to dry

You were the beating that drives
You were my flesh and my blood and everything in between only 'till you opened up my eyes

Pull down this paper ceiling bring on the flood

In this life of so much lies and of moral compromise
My compassionate reaction dripped between her thighs
With a fifth of blinding rage as the dirt coursed through my veins
I'll head for the stage
Will I transcend all this pain?
Will I face the devils eyes
Will he answer all the cries
Will this be my demise.

My eyes, swollen, the door opened I let the light fill my sight
One step outside. Who am I? Crawl to walk. Well I still try

I try.
