Tear Me
Blind me – Tell me about the void
Show me that I’m immersed in sin
And beat me out of reality
Whisper lies – But I forget and regret
Paying for existence and humanity
Where’s the Demon that will punish me?
Cover me in blood
I’m an altar of filth
All I want is emptiness
For the skies are caged in darkness
Alone inside a thrown-out shell
I’m no one as you call me
Just cries and lies in my Hell
Will I ever be set free?
My mind is bitter
My body’s rot
Burn me to rest
I can no longer stand
Pain seems forever
But life is not
Never a threat
I’m sinking in quicksand
Break my heart
Tear my soul
Dig my grave
And bury me deep
Chain me to the earth
With preposterous words and dirt
I’m falling from grace
I can no longer breathe
Someone yells
But it seems so far
Are my own dreams
Screaming from the agony
Someone’s insane
And who cares if it’s me
My madness is the wish
For a Sun I cannot see
Cover me in blood
I’m an altar of filth
All I want is emptiness
For the skies are burning
Break my heart
«Chain me to the earth»
Tear my soul
«With preposterous words and dirt»
Dig my grave
«I’m falling from grace»
And bury me deep
«I can no longer breathe»
…Tear my soul…
…Tear my soul…
…Tear my soul…
“Tear Me”
