Warpaint
Trying hard to reconcile Wishing I could take away Your pain and suffering Focused on your final breath Waiting silently to repent As the end closes in Now this paint has chipped away Bearing all the innocence We hide deep inside Stillness ends your misery And with it my deliverance into darkness But still I bleed quietly Find a way to medicate Find a way to comfort Bury all this seething hate Even if it is just for now Quietly you say my name A fragile voice that calls Seductively and longingly Tell me all your deepest fears Show me what you're hiding Give me all the tools I need Until I have destroyed you Find a way to medicate Find a way to comfort Bury all this seething hate Even if it is just for now And I cannot medicate away all this pain And I cannot bury this hate Grinding these bones until nothing is left But a wasteland And now we begin The final ritual To drink the blood of The damned

We are the children of machines Among the liars and the thieves You'll tell us this will be our year And you'll pretend to be sincere I don't believe a word you say Cause you are everything I hate And I will bleed you till you're dry Till fame has passed you by But you won't ever look to find What lies inside this mask I hide behind You tell us we can't live this way No place to rest no place to stay But we still turn to face the rush A cleansing fire that burns in us And I will bleed you till you're dry Till fame has passed you by But you won't ever look to find What lies inside this mask I hide behind And now my bones have turned to dust

Trapped in the darkness of our lives Where light faintly provides hope But still we feel the cold embrace Unwilling to fade And so begins the ritual of my pain I cannot face this alone And I will never be whole So begins the ritual of my pain Let me deep inside A place that hides Your darkest side In time pain will be The only thing you'll ever need Voices of pain and despair Mislead hearts searching for hope So begins the ritual of my pain Let me deep inside A place that hides Your darkest side In time pain will be The only thing you'll ever need

I am alive in this hell I call my home I am the keeper of all that's old and torn I tried to believe my heart As seconds were spread apart A nightmare I couldn't escape Each second of agony I wished that you could give to me The pain you were holding inside I am alive in this hell I call my home I am the keeper of all that's old and torn A room that was once filled with light Now silenced by your memory And the pain that you left behind Weighed down by this burden of gray Reminding how hopelessness stains When sunlight seems so far away I fell on this sword all my own The blood fills my eyes more and more Each day that I grow more alone Now I sit on this throne of regret As all those I love slowly fade And I'm still left behind to wait Sinking further down till I hit the ground Left alive to feel what you left me here with Cracks that will reveal the innocence we hide A tree that's trying to die but somehow kept alive I am alive in this hell I call my home I am the keeper of all that's old and torn

Take me away Far from all this pain Where hearts are set free And spirits reach for me When I was just a child With eyes open to the sky And death was but a dream A place to hope and never leave I am blinded by the red skies Poisoning our lives Grinding all our bones to dust In time the warpaint dries To reveal the innocence we hide Yet still we try so hard To guard against a broken heart But somehow our hope Will slowly slip away As reality sets in Of all the pain we're left here with I am blinded by the red skies Poisoning our lives Grinding all our bones to dust I am blinded by the red skies Poisoning our lives Grinding all our bones to dust Blood's in my eyes, all I see are red skies When the warpaint can't hide our regret Taking this flesh till nothing's left...

I cannot win this war nor can I afford To turn and just walk away As the walls come crumbling down Tortured and left to bleed Reaching out in my time of need Reliving this nightmare each day In this prison where I'm left to wait The gravity of loss Consumes me with past regrets Recalling a time of our happiness The gathering crowd Surrounds your resting place The rain hides our tears As we say goodbye A voice calls my name In the darkness it beckons me To this valley of gray And spiraling hatred No eyes can I see you with No heart to keep me warm No more pain to confess As the sinew that binds us Is ripped apart The rain hides our tears As we say goodbye We call on the gods To answer our pain

Memory of a life A candle that burned so bright That left us before his time An unnatural sacrifice We gather to contemplate All the choices we made And we sing Shadows that dance in fire As the spirits are singing Too dark for the eyes to see Whispers carried upon the leaves After all of these years The warpaint has disappeared To reveal a lifetime of deception Left only with this confession Nothing left to fight for Now it is time To prepare for judgment Inside my heart I am quickly losing hope Now it is time That we say one last goodbye Tell me when, when this struggle is over After all these years The warpaint has disappeared Left to offer my confession Of regret and deception After all of these years The warpaint has disappeared Left to offer my confession To address years of deception The roads that I've traveled down Have worn out these old bones But with nothing to fight I wait in the shadow As darkness pulls me away The red skies are clearing Tell me when, when this struggle is over
