Lyrics

How many times?
How many times should I stab you in the face?
How long will shame instill suffering?
"But it won't happen again" she says, lying through her teeth
Rotting at the mouth she prays for tragedy, with your hands tied around your back
You drown in your own blood
You choke on dependence
You were always powerless
Erase your self-worth
This time her blood will spill
This time I won't stand still
Last call for decadence
She's already gone
My eyes will bleed from what I've seen
Thorns enter through belief and the covering, but your downfall is inevitable
Cry out for help textbook battered wife, but she says she's sorry, but it'll happen again
Spread your legs for revenge
How does it feel?
Does it feel good?
Does it feel like success?
You kiss the knife that slits your wrist
You long for love that doesn't exist
Thorns enter through belief and the covering, but your downfall is inevitable
