Hell Within

In The Absence Of Fire

Hell Within


You've got a heart like a loaded gun 
Shed the skin and spare your eyes from what i've done 
So You've got a game to play? 
The deck is stacked so I'll walk away 
I'm haunted by my lust for your taste 
Cutting myself feels right 
Sometimes I don't know if I'm alive 
A siren haunting once silent shores 
Weighted me down in the brine 
I'd toss the key to my own shackles 
To taste your lips just one last time 
Blind men can't stare in wonder 
Her snaking hips will pull you under 
A burning kiss tastes of gasoline 
Well on my way to the pyre 
Just strike the match, my love 
I'd die just to burn in your fire 
In the absence of your fire... 
The blackest waves to take my ship away 
The spiraling decay of all we had 
My angel, tie my noose of blackened halos 
With every single breath 
I die a little more 
Cover my mouth 
Sink your teeth in 
I"ll still love you blindly 
Clawing at the walls that cage me 
Why couldn't you jsut forgive me? 
I know your hate 
I've been there 
It gets no better with every passing day
