My body aches with each sigh that confesses to sin As my hate claws through my chest What follows me is my own illusion A constant reminder of hell The knife forgets but the back remembers Salted touch ruptures rotten tissue Each shrug a passive sentence Every memory of you slips out of shape Each excuse breathes an atmosphere of sorrow Impregnating the air with guilt and regret You faded away, left me pleading for what I know Condemned to a memory Hatred has brought me further Than your love ever could I have lived with your lies long enough When burning bridges fails You're the hammer and not the nail Rather be forgotten than be remembered A coward's ship that has sailed You can't take me but i can take myself Erosion of conformity The agony you call life The emptiness I call me Isolation
