lyrics

Every time you come to us
You make a memory, break our trust
Burn the flesh, part the skin
Watch the hate come creeping in

See the fear, feel the bleed
Raise a hand, know what it means
Clear the way, they’re here to stay
Fresh hot wounds are on display

When you say you’re coming back
Trembling fingers - panic attack
We’re never free of your disease
And all these rotten memories

The easy thing is to pretend
That you can’t hurt us in the end
But why would I let you walk free
In the wake of such tragedy?

Don’t you think you’ve said enough?
The damage done, and the final snuff
The eyes are closed, the lips are blue
That endless moment, told the truth
Breaking free now just to find
That I have gone and lost my mind

Let the scars form in their rows
Stories told from head to toe
No more stitches, no more lies
No more pretending that we’re all right

No
Feel the heat
No
More retreat

Everything you ever said was leading to right now and I don’t think you ever thought I’d be the one to take you down but I’m not taking it again for the last time we’re at the end you’d better

Drop down dead

Every one is a memory
Of when you used to torture me
The pain won’t leave, it’s here for good
I don’t know if it ever should

Every time I close my eyes
I see your face, there’s no disguise
You’re haunting me in all my dreams
My breath is stopped, I cannot scream

Don’t you think it’s gone too far?
Every word is like a scar
Cut my heart out, crush it well
Peer inside and see the swell
Of righteous fear and burning hate
I’ll take you down, it’s never too late

Time and again you bring the fear
So much so I disappear
Into the hole of black despair
Don’t say a word, don’t breathe a prayer

The easy thing is to pretend
That you can’t hurt us in the end
And I just let you walk away
To kill again another day
