Flesh and Blood

Spoken like a fool

I raise my head in shame

Shuffle out to the end of a plank

Still I try to shift the blame

No more noise, and no more choices

But the ring screaming louder than voices

Heart locked in a cell of hate

Down at the bottom of the well I wait

Walls are caving in under pressure

Holy water can’t save you forever

Staring in a mirror I see

A tired soul of broken dreams

Putting one foot in front of the other

Falling into the mess I made

No more noise, and no more choices

But the ring screaming louder than voices

Heart locked in a cell of hate

Down at the bottom of the well I wait

Walls are caving in under pressure

Holy water can’t save you forever

Decay in the mud

Worms feeding off your flesh and blood
