By My Own Hand

Who was I or was I really there You didn't seem to know you didn't seem to Grew tired of being the nameless one So I did what had to be done Washed away the filth From your sins I am clean The sins never forgiven Not even in hell you'll walk unseen I couldn't put faith in me I couldn't put faith in God The only faith I found Was in the knife that spilled my blood In tears I laughed As the blade slowly tore my veins At last I was free Free from all my pains Now it's too late For you to touch my lips with yours And say you're sorry 'Cause my heart don't beat no more And all that's left is what you'll bury Worms now crawl in me Crawling in my bones They're the best friends And they enjoy my company Six feet under there's a paradise Within wooden walls my Eden lies I couldn't put faith in me I couldn't put faith in God The only faith I found Was in the knife that spilled my blood In tears I laughed As the blade slowly tore my veins At last I was free Free from all my pains Now it's too late For you to touch my lips with yours And say you're sorry 'Cause my heart don't beat no more And all that's left is what you'll bury Close those empty eyes Forgive yourself but never life Wash away the filth Here comes the knife In tears you laugh As the blade slowly tears your veins Read the blood Read the truth within the stains The shame you feel is turning into grace And you're greeting death with a smile on your face --- By My Own Hand - Cemetary
