Swallow The Sun - Weight Of The Dead lyrics

rate me

"I lost the last of my hope on that night<br />

when the morning never came<br />

Staring in the eye of all those ghosts of loss<br />

And like the plague it crushed me<br />

On the eve of a new moon"<br />

<br />

I'm made of filth, of lies<br />

No clean blood runs in me<br />

I've turned to everything I hate<br />

Black blood and dirt in a human shell<br />

<br />

Leaving these trails of betrayal<br />

Cold lifeless flesh, a so called man<br />

<br />

Choking on the pain of others<br />

In my own lies I drown<br />

Happiness was all I reached for<br />

But sure, no one deserves it<br />

That dim light I still held, finally faded<br />

<br />

There was so much in me that I trusted<br />

But so little I knew<br />

The weakness I held was stronger than anything<br />

And it turned me into arrows for the ones I truly loved<br />

<br />

Forgive me for falling<br />

I know you all trusted in me<br />

But I'm made of filth, of lies<br />

No good blood runs in me<br />

<br />

Forgive me all, no more hope

<br />
