By My Own Hand |
| Who was I or was I really there |
| You didn’t seem to know you didn’t seem to |
| Grew tired of being the nameless one |
| So I did what had to be done |
| Washed away the filth |
| From your sins I am clean |
| The sins never forgiven |
| Not even in hell you’ll walk unseen |
| I couldn’t put faith in me |
| I couldn’t put faith in God |
| The only faith I found |
| Was in the knife that spilled my blood |
| In tears I laughed |
| As the blade slowly tore my veins |
| At last I was free |
| Free from all my pains |
| Now it’s too late |
| For you to touch my lips with yours |
| And say you’re sorry |
| 'Cause my heart don’t beat no more |
| And all that’s left is what you’ll bury |
| Worms now crawl in me |
| Crawling in my bones |
| They’re the best friends |
| And they enjoy my company |
| Six feet under there’s a paradise |
| Within wooden walls my Eden lies |
| I couldn’t put faith in me |
| I couldn’t put faith in God |
| The only faith I found |
| Was in the knife that spilled my blood |
| In tears I laughed |
| As the blade slowly tore my veins |
| At last I was free |
| Free from all my pains |
| Now it’s too late |
| For you to touch my lips with yours |
| And say you’re sorry |
| 'Cause my heart don’t beat no more |
| And all that’s left is what you’ll bury |
| Close those empty eyes |
| Forgive yourself but never life |
| Wash away the filth |
| Here comes the knife |
| In tears you laugh |
| As the blade slowly tears your veins |
| Read the blood |
| Read the truth within the stains |
| The shame you feel is turning into grace |
| And you’re greeting death with a smile on your face |
