Putrid Remains

The fear that I see
Reflects in your eyes
The power I feel
Is fueled by the night

All that I know is violence
Reach in and rip out the putrid remains

Slowly I wake from my slumber
Cannot recall where I've been
Arms bruised and covered in blood
Voice in my head is now silent

Your absence is all that I see
To witness this nightmare
Blurred fragments and flashes of pain
It's all coming back now

Psychotic defects, passed on through time
Ancestral inheritance, genetic crime
Troubled sick mind, a burden to bear
Eat the skin from my face so that we can share

All that I know is violence
All that I know is violence
All that I know is violence
Reach in and rip out the putrid remains

I try to make sense of my past
Memories are few and far between
This emptiness of death remains
Left scarred and unclean

Shadows, they follow me still
They haunt me with every step I take
I pray for the strength to heal
And wake from this nightmare

Psychotic defects, passed on through time
Ancestral inheritance, genetic crime
Troubled sick mind, a burden to bear
Eat the skin from my face so that we can share
