Symptoms of Betrayal

A drowning man You chose your path Now bear the mark There’s no redemption Like dying suns The light's gone out And gravity is crushing Time has been deceived A silhouette of a former self Emotionless and dispossessed Cut free this pound of flesh The measure of the penitent Welcome to hopelessness, Empty words and symptoms of betrayal Deceit cuts like a knife And twists on your insides All these wounds are self inflicted With a promise of malcontent And the worship of disappointment Welcome to hopelessness, Empty words and Symptoms of betrayal Can't climb out this bottle How much worse can it get? Not defective, just human. Burning with the wrath of God And ready to explode Too blind Too blind Too blind to see You're too blind to see You're too blind You're too blind to see This is not for the faint of heart You make it what you will If everyone carries blame then no one is shamed You are your own worst enemy Master of your own destruction The light's gone out and set on this day The light's gone out The light's gone out We're lost in the wilderness Welcome to hopelessness Welcome to hopelessness Welcome Hopelessness Welcome Welcome
