Venomous

Shadows Fall

I only wanted to
Kill the pain and the sorrow
Instead I buried you
And killed the happiness in me
Can you hear the laughter
Coming from my grave?
Suddenly it seems to me
That I am my own worst enemy
We can never hope to breathe
In this misery
Full speed with blinders on
Never stopped to see the horror
I think you always knew
I'd drag you down to hell with me
Suddenly it seems to me
That I am my own worst enemy
We can never hope to breathe
Tangled in this misery
Think of all I've said and done
All the fights I thought I won
Another scar for the chosen son
The ungodly one
How can I
Purge this venom from my veins?
Your sweetest suicide
Drags you in and flips that switch
As you fade away
With the breath of every hit
