Lyrics

Destroyer

Empty, heavy eyes
Drift away to my heaven
Whatever waits inside
I'm just a ghost you think you know
Was there something that you wanted to say?
Goodbye
My time has come
My head is falling off
I can kill you all
And finally be alone
Destroyer, destroyer
Keep you here a while
And if I'm never forgiven
You can't say I didn't try
I tried, I tried to save so many lives
I guess my heart got carried away
I guess the dark turned off the light
Was there something that you wanted to say?
Goodbye
My time has come
My head is falling off
I can kill you all
And finally be alone
Destroyer, destroyer
My time has come
My head is falling off
I can kill you all
And finally be alone
I am alone, I am alone
Destroyer, destroyer
I am alone, I am alone
Destroyer, destroyer

    Stripping back the influences and coming up with a more coherent sound might have helped.
