An Exorcism of Romance

So faded, So hopeless, So without a chance to withstand
Spit on my grave, The dirt mirrors my torment
So fed up, So desperate, So without a face to save today
Save my ashes, The fire warms my broken soul

Finally, the feeling fades and leaves me with a bitter stain
My soul bears that which my skin could never contain
Fearless, and unabated, My shoulders take you in
To spit you out, To cast you out, An exorcism of romance

You aren’t the devil’s angel, You aren’t god’s conscience
Don’t regret a single second inside this tormented anguish
This is the home I created, The bed I made was made for two
So step inside, Throw the veil over your eyes, And rest in peace

Fear will never save you, It could never rescue me
Safety is never an issue when hell is full of my saviors
Heaven is for sinners and goddamn I am welcomed home
To be beneath the soil once more, My ashes will create paradise
