lyrics

Tarnished
All emotive growing numb
Bit the tongue from my mouth
Tore the skin from my bones
Locked in from the outside
Stole the hope from my hands
Can't quiet the murmurs that convey I am wrong

This brokenness laid waste to our legacy
Our labors tarnished by soil and spite
Roots of bitterness sprout through denial
Producing seeds whose flowers will wilt and decay

Master of terror
Illuminate
Shine your light upon the madness and the shame
That has come to consume us all
Never forgetting to pass up the blame
Afraid of the transformation to fully enfold
Did purging yourself of this burden add up

True denial paved the way to this ignorance
Laying waste to mind body and spirit
The creeping thoughts of the father repressed
Let the fears of the mother paralyze me

Crippling thoughts of a wasted existence
Desperate for silence
Silence while fearing the calm
Punishment for the sins of the sorrowed
Was I spared from a life that I was not owed

My mind is in a death grip
My efforts worthless and used up
The bastard son born to no one
A bloodline tainted with hate and despair

Paved your way and I buried my own

The bastard son born to no one
The well's been tainted with blood and filled up with dirt

Bit the tongue from my mouth
Stole the hopes from my hands
