Blood Tithe

Breaking porcelain skin Smothered by bright lights and violence Fleeing into the unknown Between hell and heaven Crawl through the broken glass I'll sing your praise to the ghosts of my past Wrote my thoughts with the blood I spilt Read them aloud and I'll spill my guilt Leave me in the gutter Let me sulk and suffer Another moment left behind Breaking teeth with every smile I'm wrapping my arms around the dark Embracing the calamity A world of peace could never welcome me I spit blood on the cross of serenity Breaking porcelain skin Smothered by bright lights and violence Fleeing into the unknown Between hell and heaven Mesmerized by the ties that bind I still see through tired eyes Hold me down and tell me my sins And never forgive them Tear me apart and leave me for dead I need something more than a hole in my head Tried to exist with my indifference Fell in love with the process So now I always tremble in the face of change Diving headfirst and riding the tide of shame Only seeing with bitter red eyes Always dreaming of lost youth and blue skies A dull vision of A dull vision of Breaking porcelain skin Smothered by bright lights and violence Fleeing into the unknown Between hell and heaven Mesmerized by the ties that bind I still see through tired eyes Hold me down and tell me my sins And never forgive them Never forgiven Never forgiven Never forgiven Never forgiven
