For You I Gave it All
Cast not these doubts aside as you revel unto glory
unladen...
and yet it dies upon a lonesome shore
But reality is not a tool for friendship
and one's worth cannot be scored
But I'm losing
and this battle is far from over
Oh, I'll follow you to the ends of the Earth
and let you torture me so
Spit in my face and thrust disgrace
until my blood is soaked no more
And split the hands that held you close
that kissed the face of the Holy Ghost
who cast only me aside
and bade me unto fall
I suffered in the pain, but for you I took it all
I'm torn inside and my heart is reeling
Whose strings did snap within thin air
and broken, battered, lying lifeless, upon the ground in disrepair
I cannot move, nor can I breathe
Like severed shackles who beg reprieve
And into the air, I am released
to fall and break yet once again
but this time more with ease
My hands, they would not catch me
And I was forced to watch them bleed
I suffered in the pain, but for you I'd let them be
My eyes, they screamed for mercy
as I was blinded by your hate
Yet this "reasoning" is nothing more than unadulterated fate
blissful in the evening, when the dark has come of late
and cuts into the bone of the soul it hopes to take
Yet I was baptized
unto the very gates of Hell
lost and withered in my decision to grant you peace of mind
I suffered in the pain, but for you I'd slowly die
I wallowed in your pity
until it coated my own skin
until it burned straight through my flesh
and then baited me to sin
whose claws did capture and enrapture my heart that lay within
and grazed into my very being that forced me to begin
this long and hateful journey that merely started on a whim
Drink me whole until I'm gone and finally lost inside
I suffered in the pain...but for you, I gave my life
