lyrics

I have my reasons
I've got my regrets
But the light you said was coming
hasn't found me yet because
The wounds are open
The lesions are fresh
Old ghosts in the blood
New weakness in the flesh and I
I know the hunger
I've tasted the fear
I've told the little lies to make them disappear but I
Still hear them whisper
I feel them stir
I thought that they were dead
but you can never be sure and now

Your mouth is moving
but there's nothing to say

And all the lies I couldn't get to take
are heading to a graveyard filled with past mistakes
The skeletons left their closets for this ghost town
Their bones are breaking but they won't lie down
They chant:
"I'd say that I was sorry but I meant every word
I'd say that it was over, but that's not what I heard because
Nothing is finished, nothing is through
Now what will you do when we find you?"

For all of your empty threats
for all of your rage
You're just standing in the ocean
and pissing at the waves

Have you come to destroy me?
Have you come here to make me whole?
Do you think I care?
Have you come to absolve me?
Tell me it's out of my control?
Just what I need to hear

To let it all burn down
Cough up some blood and kick the ashes around
Just to see what I find
And when the pressure releases
Pretend I see a million patterns in the pieces
and there was a reason this time

My good intentions decayed
and I keep standing in my own goddamn way
and I'll never learn

Slowbleed uses guitars to make the type of music that is too heavy to be Hard Rock, but isn't quite Metal either. Music for no one, basically.
