               What are you running from?

                                What are you so a f r a i d of?

                                                                     What I’ve become

[lightonceshining]

                                        But God knows I’ll do what I need.                                              That’s why the Devil came                                        and sold his fucking soul to { m e }

                sadly I’m not one of those good people.

        I’m one of the bad things.

                                So let mercy come                                   And wash away                                   What I’ve done                                            I’ll face myself                                  To cross out what I’ve become                                                        

                                                      Erase myself                                       And let go of what I’ve done

[lightonceshining]

                                                                 Oh oh where do we begin?                                                      The rubble or our  s i n s?

                       And the walls kept t u m b l i n g down                                     In the city that we love                                          Grey clouds roll over the hills                                Bringing  d a r k n e s s  from above

But if you close your eyes,                      Does it almost feel like

                                         Nothing changed at all?                                          And if you close your  e y e s,                                      Does it almost feel like

                                                                       You’ve been here before?                                            How am I gonna be an optimist about this?

Please remember I was once a lamb,

Do not look at me and see only the m o n s t e r,

created by the [flight] from the slaughter

[lightonceshining]

                                   I used to be innocent

                                                        until I was  {t a i n t e d}

                                        with blood.

[lightonceshining]

i was made to destroy.

                            ——   not to fix                                     &  not to heal

        but to break,           to conquer,             & to [ kill ]

[lightonceshining]

                     I don’t know anything

                      about truth

                      but I know

                      F A L S E H O  O D

                      when I see it.
