Covenant

Uproot the thorn within

Cast it out of me

One drop of venom is enough to paralyse

Determined truth we seek

Set fire, collide in the dirt

Deafening waves crash as we scorch this poisoned earth

Make your demons mine

Throw my body to the flames

Let the blood spill from your cheek

To a fantasy that won't remain

'Cause I swear we could make it out

If you just keep close to my skin

As I try to live

It tears me from limb from limb

I've been sick of dancing with angels of death

Watching the black smoke rise from my chest

Poisonous self-doubt imprisoning me

I see the devilish gleam

Cast it out and let the past bleed

Let me leave

It's who I choose to be

A glorified puppet

Won't you cut my strings?

'Cause I swear we could make it out

If you just keep close to my skin

As I try to live

It tears me from limb from limb

And I know this place could kill us

I feel the smoke closing in

As I try to breathe

It tears me from limb from limb

Let me leave, let me bleed

Kill my history

This cult of misery will see

I've cut my strings
