lyrics
Lyrics:
The wise will always know deception.
I'm both the witness and the victim.
This rope around my neck,
I know this misery all too well.
A noose with a name,
To send me down to hell.
Condemned to the fate I helped construct.
Devoid and hollow.
I've been here before,
One too many times.
I've led myself astray,
With nowhere to point the blame.
An admission of guilt,
Because I know who I am,
And it's disgusting to me.
Fill a grave with all my guilt,
Falling from the pedestals I built.
Denounce your innocence,
Burn your idols down.
Polarize my understanding of what is true.
Falsify all that is sacred, disguised in valour,
I see right through the façade.
This rope around my neck,
I know this misery all too well.
A noose with a name,
To send me down to hell.
Send me down to hell,
Forever hollow.
Lift me off my feet,
Devoid and hollow.
