lyrics

Broken from a night drenched in sweat and spite
Mourning someone who claims they’re living
Doom is their delight, only one invite
To the torture, no prize for guessing…

Lacerated skin, everything’s a sin
When your dogma has bit through the chain
In the twisted grin lies the guilt within
But the truth’s etched in each new bloodstain

My journals burn
Your drawings too
And why?

My only wish
Before I die’s
To kill the ghost in you

There’s a light that blinds the truth
Guiding me, haunting you
The bitterest forbidden fruit

To write a line you don’t dictate
You destroy, as I create
Killing a ghost to save a life

Once upon a time lived a valentine
Sweet and tender, who made my heart sing
Then this man declined right before my eyes
To the victim who slashed my heart strings

I still reminisce every single kiss
Back when passion was pure and precious
Now I just exist, waiting for the twist
Of misfortune that will condemn us

Ten months and six days
Since one of us mentioned love
Of course it was me, hoping that you
Could still believe

To write a line you don’t dictate
You’ve destroyed my waning faith
To kill the ghost before I die
