Thicken my blood
Quiet my conscience
Kindness is weakness in disguise

Mold me into
A venomous serpent
Shield me from heaven's prying eyes

Steady my hand
Holding the dagger
Fear is of no consequence

If enough of me is left to salvage
I can learn to live without the
Parts I sacrificed along the way

You can call me cruel or
Say I'm ruthless

I'll answer for every choice I made
Sealing my fate

Black as the raven
Sleep is nowhere to be found

I roam the halls
Drift like a spector
Jumping at every little sound

I sowed the seeds
Of perilous flowers
Whose poison is driving me mad

If enough of me is left to salvage
I can learn to live without the
Parts I sacrificed along the way

You can call me cruel or
Say I'm ruthless
I'm not seeking absolution
I'll answer for every choice I made
Sealing my

To scrub away this wickedness

Too late, it's all over my skin

I want to be clean again
To scrub away this wickedness
Quick now, before the stain sets in
Too late, it's all over my skin

I want to be clean again
To scrub away this wickedness
Quick now, before the stain sets in
Too late, it's all over my skin

If enough of me is left to salvage
How am I to live without the
Parts I sacrificed along the way?

You can call me cruel or
Say I'm ruthless
There will be no absolution
I'll answer for every choice I made
Sealing my fate
