Torn apart and stripped from the core (save me from myself) All these pages, countless faces pass and you can't fathom this world without a higher power keeping you in line. You wield a weak mind A lack of intuition feeds on your broken complexion Why can't you open your eyes? The route is guided by the petals that rot from the stem of your conscience. Do you even know who you are? We all die in this world A cage built by the "grace of his presence" Your broken bond of these lies that they feed you, leave you hopeless of what is to come And it burns, and it burns, the fact that life after death isn't certain Help me, I want it all, give it to me Let me know what it feels like to bleed My cage is locked, please find me the key Angel of death, please take this life from me This mind is so fragile yet so far from reality It makes me fucking sick to watch you bathe in your own apathy Open your eyes Watch me bleed, watch me bleed, watch me fucking bleed. Now burn, burn, fucking burn in the name of your maker.

Cancer of the weak Voices unheard Buried in regret Blade of vengeance Essence of the weak Small cries for help Buried with the dead An image of salvation We are born together (without mercy) Cultivating stolen thoughts Fixated on the truth Or to bury our lies You dig into Nails pierce my corneas And cover your ears As I choke on my blood Heaven is a prison An escape to see the truth Heaven is a fucking prison Incarcerated in the blood of Christ Cut my wrists Bear my fucking chain You dig into me My flesh, paper thin A witness begging for mercy But a backbone to endure Zenith rooted to a lifeless vessel A vision of angels cut the throat of God Rains of blood conceived Mortality above I want to die at the feet of the Cult of Kings.
3.
This barrier, once pieced together now shattered in cold blood Crucify my will, for I have expired completely from the torture that you hold so close I itch for the blood that you drew from me (drain me dry) All gone, consumed by your fingertips as you peel me open Anesthesia injection, your nails pierce through my heart with such ease No mercy, no feeling like taking ones life from their own dead fucking hands (This feeling) The scalpel treads deeper and deeper until I feel life slip away I no longer exist A fracture to the frontal lobe You dissect my thoughts in increments So take your time, don't rush this process A thief will hunt for as little as pocket change Extraction brings pain But I will no longer suffer when this is over And I'm lost, but you can't stop me from breaking free of this curse that you cast I won't be tamed.
