I've been cursed and crossed Beaten by the ones who got me off I've been cut and opened up Shattered by the ones I thought I loved But I keep coming back to the crime scene All the while knowing that the dead can't speak And there's nothing left to say anyway I've been left cold in the crypt Cold as the words on your lips And yet I recognize your face What a strange redemption Your words bled me dry Now dust falls from my wounds As downward I'm cast Feelings of regret permeates me, left always wanting From these wounds I am redeemed And I recall with such vivid clarity The soft whispers of foolish notions Too late I've realized my wrongs and carelessness But believe me my regret runs deep, No longer inspired you are better off without me My life's been molded Deceived by the foolish The weak embody lies and herein lies the truth This long battle has left me with scars, beyond repair And time can't heal these wounds inside
