I Rise
I rise
From the burning
My flesh stripped
Exposed to the world
At the mercy of glaring eyes
Like devils they chase me
Searching for my soul
Wanting me broken in pieces
No angels to save me
Only the darkness and snarling beasts
I rise
From above the whispers
All cried out
Running from the dancing shadows
They surround me
Smelling my fear
Grinning dogs loving the plight I'm in
Killing my senses
Leaving me numb
All the twist and turns become traps
I rise
From above the darkness
With what scares me
No forgiveness or pity
Just jeering laughter
Biting at my heart
Everyday the same thing
Waiting for me to fall
Ready to take my pieces
It's a curse I have to bear
I rise
From nothing
I have become nothing
From the burning
My flesh stripped
Exposed to the world
At the mercy of glaring eyes
Like devils they chase me
Searching for my soul
Wanting me broken in pieces
No angels to save me
Only the darkness and snarling beasts
I rise
From above the whispers
All cried out
Running from the dancing shadows
They surround me
Smelling my fear
Grinning dogs loving the plight I'm in
Killing my senses
Leaving me numb
All the twist and turns become traps
I rise
From above the darkness
With what scares me
No forgiveness or pity
Just jeering laughter
Biting at my heart
Everyday the same thing
Waiting for me to fall
Ready to take my pieces
It's a curse I have to bear
I rise
From nothing
I have become nothing
