had to wait a few years to heal and let my wounds close.
"Here lies the fool" will be etched into my tombstone.
You broke me as a child but I've made it now I'm full grown.
And optimism only works when you forget what you know.
A smile from ear to ear can hide my penance.
Who am I kiddin I am sick of my existence.
This pain has paved the way that I've been livin.
I never resist it in fact I bathe in it.
You said that you hate me well we have that in common.
This mask that I wear holds the strength I cannot summon.
I carry my luggage on my trip up to the summit.
Dawn of the third day you know the end is comin.
Nothing hurts worse than the curse of memory.
You walked through the fire and I followed you blindly.
I attempt to forget you and its killing me.
You taught me how to love but forgot to mention you would leave.
(Chorus)
My heart was lost a hundred years ago my soul is stone
Like a ghost that plagues the sea she will never be with me she will never be with me
(Verse 2)
I swam the troubled waters after you burned every bridge away.
In the wake of your mistakes your eyes spoke words you'd never say. All the games you would play would keep a normal man at bay.
But I stayed despite the pain and I regret it everyday.
Its just that a part of me was too afraid to let you go.
My heart of gold turned bitter cold in the shade of your shadow.
You'd never know of my woe because I never let it show.
I'd forgo my flesh and bone my souls outgrown this empty home.
Now my demons cuddle me every single fucking night.
No matter how I plead they shush me up and hold me tight.
Spreading like a parasite shrouding sight of my third eye.
They've become a part of me drowning every speck of light.
Hopefully I'll never wake and have to start the day anew.
I'm living proof a heart confused can't elude the disquietude.
There's no excuse I misconstrued all the love I thought I knew.
I've paid my dues so I conclude and bid adieu to all of you.
(Chorus)
My heart was lost a hundred years ago my soul is stone
Like a ghost that plagues the sea she will never be with me she will never be with me
