Confess

Every day I feel a new attachment
I feel the fear in her skin and I hate that it's lasted
Her eyes tell the story of, a violent touch
Though she tries hard to mask it

You can confide in me, she says
Cut free of all this distress
Cleanse your mind, and redefine

Is this a tactic to gain my control, ensure my support
To make sure that she's sheltered?

I sense some truth in her eyes
But if this leads us to my demise
Where is earth in this conflict?

History could just repeat
And maybe it's something that we should just leave

Even through my greatest reservations
Can't help but grow more fond
Been given many revelations
For a second I swore I saw her soul
Escape her mouth as she told me of all her devastations

I held her tight, through that cold winter night
The sound of a sick serenade, children being slain, and should she know that I'm all to blame
A feeling I thought I had felt, sympathy and apathy these were traits I guess that I shut out
Killed them all, killed them all
Can I be forgiven if I just quit now?

I spilled the blood of several thousand
Could you still feel my soul
If I was lost and I didn't know?

They say blessed are the meek
If I can't be reconciled, what's my destiny?

It was cold, and sky was black placed in a gaze then something in me snapped
Just sick of hiding myself, and pretending to be
Something more than human, something that could relieve the pain for them, their emptiness
There's things you should know, things that I've suppressed, but now it's time to show

I'm, I'm not who you think I am
I've taken lives
Many, many innocent lives
And this is all
All because of me
I was the first to escape
I assembled this
