I've been broken by all of my

Betrayers, destroyed all my hope

Burned their bridges back to me,

Torches ignite, scorch the rope.

Subtle barbs of honesty,

Chew away at their being.

Take this curse away from me.

Silence me eternally!



Gnawed to the bone.

Abandoned – all alone.

I’ve lost all ties to that which was once known as my home.

Stripped of all resource.

Lost with no hope of recourse.

Gaze upon me now,

The Pariah!



Stab wounds upon my back.

Eyes beaten blue and black.

You shelter that which orders

Every devastating attack!

Reaching far out,

For help from those who ripped my heart out!

They lash whips at my will, breaking skin, my death has no doubt!



Gnawed to the bone.

Abandoned – all alone.

I’ve lost all ties to that which was once known as my home.

Stripped of all resource.

Lost with no hope of recourse.

Gaze upon me now,

The Pariah!

Gnawed to the bone.

Abandoned – all alone.

I’ve lost all ties to that which was once known as my home.

Stripped of all resource.

Lost with no hope of recourse.

Gaze upon me now,

The Pariah!
