Convalesce

I know who you are, you wanted to be perfect In all that you were, but you bailed, you bailed I know who you are, you wanted to be worth it In all that you were, but you failed, you failed Kill all the lights - you fear what's inside Cover Your eyes - I'm trying to run and to hide in shadows Filling the void with just a veneer Watching your steps and hoping that I don't come near - Don't follow I know you thought, you thought you'd never need it But you can't hide behind all your claims, your claims Guilt is now the anchor pulling, dragging your head under Drowning deeper down below Fear is just a false claim, vanity has locked the irons Sinking faster, heart is hollow Show me your sorrow my love This burden is the milestone 'round your neck Convalesce and I will bear, bear your shame The voice of hell screams and roars Of what has been done Tens of thousands and countless more Yet I'll remember not one You know who I am, I wanted to be perfect In all that I am, but I failed, I failed Would you walk in darkness just to find a broken rebel? Crippled legs won't find their way Could you look upon my blackened soul I've werecked and ruined How could see me without clean hands or a pure heart? Show me your sorrow my love This burden is the milestone 'round your neck Convalesce and I will bear, bear your shame, every stain Bear your shame, every stain --- Convalesce - Wolves at the Gate
