Baptized in pity's robes
I've failed to dam the rising tide of fear
Unmoving and unmoved your words of hope
Have fallen on deaf ears
I'll burn our bridge behind to ash
Alone I seek the coward's path
Repelled by outstretched arms
That seek to lift me up and pull me in
And in futility they learn to loose the soul
That pushes against them
I'll burn our bridge behind to ash
Alone I seek the coward's path
Deep seated origins
The need for isolation
The need to run away
To hide eternally to draw
The shades on painful hurt to keep the truth at bay
To shroud myself in
This adorned in resignation inside a silent shell
To shroud myself in this in this my purgatory
In this my living hell
I can't let you in
