Tess-Timony - Ice Nine Kills

A makeshift smile, a polished look

Some rehearsed lines was all it took

He had it down, man, he was good

A woman screams, her mother weeps

A life so changed irrevocably

What he stole from her is gone for good

I see sirens spinning around through my eyelids

As he begs and he pleads just like I did

Is this what my life is?

Restless and silent

Where all I can do is survive

When the purest soul is stained by sin

To the public eye where can she begin?

She lost it all and it’s gone for good

And she may never beat the system

But she won’t rest until she’s turned the villain to the victim

I see sirens spinning around through my eyelids

As he begs and he pleads just like I did

Is this what my life is?

Restless and silent

Where all I can do is survive

So officer please that’s the man who’s destroyed my existence

Yeah he begged and he screamed just like I did

And for this I was willing to die

It was all I could do to survive

All I could do to survive

It was all I could do to survive
