Words To Ash
My embers burn / A fire roars
My inner war / A blaze of words
I wrote this for you
I wanted you to read it, I really wanted you to
But instead I kept it
So my pain remains hidden
Because I know that I'll probably never see you again
Which means I must find another way for me to be forgiven
Even if it's just a placebo effect
In order for me to try and move on
Because I will always be kind of broken
So this is me trying to undo what you have done
Maybe this has happened to me for a reason
Another tragic gift of believing
That I don't need vengeance
-
All you have is a life that is ready to break
All you know is how to reap the innocent's faith
All you will ever have is a mind full of guilt, and it's so ready to cave
All you will ever know are the faces of the past, every single one crying in vain
-
So I will grasp onto this / Closure drawn from my empty heart
Obtaining my justice / Drying my tears that were shed in the dark
I have what you don't
I know what you won't
The strength of all of these scars
The courage to use every ounce of will power
I will NOT be unforgiven
I will NOT serve your sentence
For what you have done to me
I was able to gain a type of independence
Even though you almost broke me completely
Now I can take whatever hits me, and give pain an acceptance
And when the raging fires in my eyes finally burn out
These ashes of yours will fall down
Scattering justice all around
