Affliction - Viscera

I won’t spend another day trying

To put the flames out on the bridges

That you chose to set alight

I never wanted any of this

Exposed yourself as a liar

You balance on a precipice

Initiate the corruption

Poison the well ever so gradually

Slowly mutate the perception

Changing the way everyone looks at me

Is this the life you really want to lead?

I won’t let you in

And now you slip away

A shallow penitence

Too little too late

You’ll never know your worth

No more lies

A different side of you for everyone

There is love inside this broken heart

But these blood soaked hands are stained

They belong to the Devil

Affliction

I won’t spend another day trying

To put the flames out on the bridges

That you chose to set alight

I never wanted any of this

You made yourself a pariah

Now you’re running from your memories

But run in which direction?

Reflecting hatred of the world on me

Antagonise an eruption

Here is the tyrant now for all to see

That’s the reaction that you want from me

I won’t let you win

All love is lost

And now you slip away

And now you slip away

A shallow penitence

Too little too late

You’ll never know your worth

No more lies

A different side of you for everyone

There is love inside this broken heart

But these blood soaked hands are stained

They belong to the Devil

Affliction
