Affliction

I won't spend another day trying
To put the flames out on the bridges
That you chose to set alight
I never wanted any of this
Exposed yourself as a liar
You balance on a precipice
Initiate the corruption
Poison the well ever so gradually
Slowly mutate the perception
Changing the way everyone looks at me
Is this the life you really want to lead?
I won't let you in

And now you slip away
A shallow penitence
Too little too late
You'll never know your worth
No more lies
A different side of you for everyone

There is love inside this broken heart
But these blood soaked hands are stained
They belong to the Devil
Affliction

I won't spend another day trying
To put the flames out on the bridges
That you chose to set alight
I never wanted any of this
You made yourself a pariah
Now you're running from your memories
But run in which direction?
Reflecting hatred of the world on me
Antagonise an eruption
Here is the tyrant now for all to see
That's the reaction that you want from me
I won't let you win

All love is lost
And now you slip away

And now you slip away
A shallow penitence
Too little too late
You'll never know your worth
No more lies
A different side of you for everyone

There is love inside this broken heart
But these blood soaked hands are stained
They belong to the Devil
Affliction
