lyrics

Free me from the confines of my mind
I need a sign
The consequences, circumstances
That surround your life has left me blind
I feel haunted
Paranoia strangles me
And there’s no one else to blame

Dead eyed and indifferent
What have you done to me?
I am awakened
Your black cloud follows me

Berate me with words from where you are
Another momentary lapse of judgement
When you push too far
And I never gave a thought
You asked for a single drop of blood
And the next thing that I knew
I was an empty vessel

Cursed by your hereditary failures
Have I been awake for days
Or have I been asleep for years?
The same disease it flows inside me, sadly
You were a parasite
Who took ‘til there was nothing left to give

Bitter emptiness, this is who we are What’s left alive still burns on the inside

(This is not a song of resentment, this is finally closure. And when every day is a death sentence, we have to band together stronger than ever before)

Berate me with words from where you are
Another momentary lapse of judgement
When you push too far
And I never gave a thought
You asked for a single drop of blood
And the next thing that I knew
I was an empty vessel for you

I was an empty vessel for you...
