Last Rites

Cast out of heaven and closer to hell My eyes narrow as I'm blinded by the sunlight Is this who I am and who I'm meant to be? Forced out and exiled from my birthright? As my circle grows smaller I feel more secure As the faceless fall down by the wayside Did I know you, or did you even ever know me? This sea of doubt takes me under with its riptide

Your vain attempt to teach me as lesson Kept me in the dark, and you kept me guessing The illustration of something that kept me obsessing What felt like a curse now I know was a blessing Her words have become all the fuel that I need For the fire to burn in the flames of my greed And the seed that's been sewn will have grown and bear fruit I'll just wait for the harvest, and she'll follow suit

The more that we struggle, the deeper we'll sink Into lies that we've spun, but the truth is what stinks I'll dose myself up, my teeth I will grit While I slowly drown in my own bullshit Falsified feelings, I've become what she needs Now she only sees me as I wish to be seen Loyalties shrinking thinner and thinner She hopes I'm her saint, but she's knows I'm a sinner

Scared for a change, now she's stuck in a rut She won't give me her heart, so I'll tear out her guts Do I sound like I'm joking? Don't make me fucking laugh And you'll see what I am when you feel my wrath Now you return to the life that you know Return tot he shackles that stunted your growth Two circles, full circle, we must break this cycle Rehearsed it so perfect it's now a recital

You had a choice to make but you chose wrong So I'll channel my rage, and I wrote you this song And this song that I'll sing and the darkness it brings Is what you deserve when you fuck with a king
