EPITAPH

You keep me locked away until
The sanguine thirst overwhelms you
And you ache to saw a little deeper
Then you forge another farce truth

There's no need to unfold
All the pain that's untold
I know you feel it too
Don't bother to read me your epitaph
Because I'm writing my own

Stop trying to be the only
One who will say
I've been in your shoes
I'm so full of hellfire and gasoline
That I want burn this motherfucker down
EVISERATION
DEVASTATION
Someone said pray to a god
I never loved

You stick your needles in to keep sane
So you can break my mind once more
Poke and prod skeletons in my closet
'til you leave their bones in the floor

There's no need to unfold
All the pain that's untold
I know you feel it too
Don't bother to read me your epitaph
Because I'm writing my own

Stop trying to be the only
One who will say
I've been in your shoes
I'm so full of hellfire and gasoline
That I want burn this motherfucker down
EVISERATION
DEVASTATION
Someone said pray to a god
I never loved

I've given all I can give
There's nothing left of me
You've sucked me dry

Kept at arm's length to keep you safe
I can't help but believe your lies
They have become a sort of catharsis
Pierce me with your eyes like a knife

There's no need to unfold
All the pain that's untold
I know you feel it too
Don't bother to read me your epilogue
Because I'm writing my own

Stop trying to be the only
One who will say
I've been in your shoes
I'm so full of hellfire and gasoline
That I want burn this motherfucker down
EVISERATION
DEVASTATION
Someone said pray to a god
I never loved

I Never Loved
 
I NEVER LOVED
