If you were to fulfill my desires,
Imagine the price you'd pay.
You've never felt the anguish
That I've hidden inside.
My pain shared unto you.
Drink the tears I've cried.
Just tell me how hard life is
When you haven't bled.
Tell me what you feel
As a tear descends.
Principle of pain and pleasure.
Actions sacred yet profane.
Within the temple of the flesh,
Private rituals are ordained.
Dignity torn, ripped to shreds.
Innocence lost, nothing remains.
Within blood I've spilled.
Wash yourself clean.
Reptile shed your guilt,
Suffer unto me.
No one is innocent,
We all have our crosses to bear.
Once you felt you were safe in a familiar place,
Desire and purpose rearranged.
Stumble over a piece of your past you wish kept locked away
To isolate yourself from misery and pain.
You want to isolate yourself,
Isolate yourself from the misery and the pain.
Cast your pride aside and let your emotions take control .
It's something you want to feel, so let the tears fall.
Sifting through remnants of what you left behind,
Reopening scars to see what I find.
Dignity torn, ripped to shreds.
Innocence lost, nothing remains.
Sifting through remnants of what you left behind.
Dignity torn, ripped to shreds.
Open wounds never mend.
Imagine the price you'd pay.
You've never felt the anguish
That I've hidden inside.
My pain shared unto you.
