The claims of the living on behalf of the dead In the clasping of hands, holding on to your breath With every breath a lie a lie as cold as a death Proffered kisses and faded flowers Grazing your lips and bonds as ours With every word you speak Your request, my command
Treat me as if I am No one, nothing Not Born at all Inevitable, I will keep crawling back to you I 'm bound to fall
I will fall into oblivion I've given all And now I'm broken down and bruised and battered Torn and tattered weakened by your beauty That I can't overcome And I am still bleeding
Hiding behind your veil of empty promises On broken vows on behalf of the blind You reclaim your innocence and guilt now binds us together Forever and Ever
Unhallowed Be Thy Shame With Shallow words and hollow eyes I have given all that's left to give to you And taken only the suffering you've shown And the damage done that you've left behind
Hate, detest, abhor All the things that you adore Disfavor, despise Harvesting such lucid lies
Loathing the empyrean corners that surround my body And keep me intertwined against the cold hard beating Of your heart I shall remain a disciple, a giver, never a receiver of truth or forgiveness Because I am not worthy I am not worthy of feeling love Or the pleasant gesture of a smile Only revealing the damage that you've caused
Unhallowed be thy shame With shallow words and hollow eyes I have given all that's left to give to you And taken only the suffering you've shown And the damage done that you left behind
