Faulty Saviors (Alt. 1)
You've found yourself in the mirror
In the eyes that won't betrayed
If I let you bleed, will you suffer the same?
In the smile that was hopeless
In the sorrow that no one sees
If I let you breathe, you will suffer the same.
The constant state of being
What you are and are not supposed to be
These are memories in the truths of the lies
Too beguiled, alone, and afraid
To see that you actually are me
And we’ve done everything to end us tonight
With the hand you've called for me
And without voice, you summon the rest
"If we will let you bleed, we'll suffer the same."
But you've marked yourself indifferent
Yet we're the ones to shoulder blame
"But we let you bleed so you won't suffer the same."
The nine souls misled from deception
Will be your fears and mistakes
We live in the chambers of your shattered mind
And in the nights that you will see us
You will no longer be afraid
Because we are the same in body, soul, and mind
