lyrics

walking in the light without a shadow
wait until I die, wait for tomorrow
drowning in the blood was just another lie
I saw it in her face just before she died
thoughts tear my skin, thoughts like poison
this is the cross, without any reason
life is an alibi, I can’t even try
I can’t even try

burnt offerings, dead flowers
a razor blade, my final hour
a means to an end, forget me now
a means to an end, scatter my ashes on the ground
scatter my ashes on the ground
on the ground
