Black Hand

The cracks are showing themselves
They're leading the way
The way things are
Going the way things change
Take them away
The stamina in misery

Take them away
You've seen the scars in me
The scars involved with history
Take them away
Too many times, I've seen destruction in men
Emotions stretched thin

Love would see a smile again, if any over-stepped mark was a lesson learnt
I hope you learn
You need to learn
That steps that you took, have left him stood in the footprints of fear
You lead the way
You brought him here

The threat that drives us all is used as means to capture
The net gets tighter until the soul inside is shattered
Fragmented thought process
Tear the mind apart
Find the misery in hand
Find a way

The stamina in misery
Take them away
You've seen the scars in me
The scars involved with history
Take them away
Agony
Burdening

The reaction I'd hate to inspire is lurking round every corner
The threat that drives us all is used as means to capture
The net gets tighter until the soul inside is shattered
With no sign of release
Heaven forbid you'd ever admit that you're wrong
Volatile, Infantile state of mind

Every word, a nail pushed further into my palm
Every word, a finger of blame stretched from your arm
A guilty verdict, indeed
A verdict guilty of hypocrisy
Nails through my palm
