Beneath a dead garden Your soul twisted and hardened Writhing and flailing Crocodile tears so sublime A performance of a lifetime Fake wounded dove Heart's cold as the Moon above Feeding me lies To prey on the kindness of others Poisoning friends and lovers Wallow in a self-pitying shell Sucking the lifeblood, leaving permanent marks With claws that will drag me to hell Swallowed into your energy well Flourish in madness to harvest the sadness Of everyone under your spell Tangled in webs of manipulation Corrupt Fake wounded dove Heart's cold as the Moon above Feeding me lies To prey on the kindness of others Poisoning friends and lovers Take all that's left of us Marked for death, solace Severing ties Obscuring the truth in your facade Reveling in the applause Alone in this world Nothing to fill that gaping hole in your self worth Hollow, starved for affection Wallow in your reflection No home, no return Rotting away, you've lost control There's no answer Sorrow, casting the first stone Swallowed into the unknown Now I can finally see that your heart is empty Tree of knowledge Bearing the weight of the world We learn to forget As we burn and regret In this never-ending cycle of life and death I am a soul denied Searching for a place to die Still waters turn foul Stagnation leads to decay The graceless gods Rotten to the core Eating each other Forevermore We learn to forget As we burn and regret In this never-ending cycle of life and death We are the souls denied Searching for a place to die (Place to die)
