VERSE
I stand alone, crooked shadow at my side,
A bitter fool who’s eyes are open wide.
A chest of gold was the ultimate dream,
Not seeing darkness but my heart heard the scream.
Anger that stoked the fire, we set ablaze,
I need to put aside, my wicked ways.
Close my eyes and weep for the loss,
lost my way, feel I’m nailed to a cross.
Chorus
I miss the way you feel, the way that you smell,
I pushed away my twisted fears.
Suffer in silence, I did this to myself,
Feeling the burn of acid tears.
VERSE
Amid the madness, I found my way home,
The fire inside cast shadows alone.
Chains of anguish always pulling me down,
Like broken glass without a sound.
I fear not death, only failure of life,
Lonely eyes cut me like a knife.
Lines of hardship, make it’s way across my face,
The wind carries the songs of disgrace.
Chorus
I miss the way you feel, the way that you smell,
I pushed away my twisted fears.
Suffer in silence, I did this to myself,
Feeling the burn of acid tears.
VERSE
Blinded by memories that flash through my head,
The wind carries sand and the words that you said.
You reached in my chest and you tore out my heart,
Disassembled my soul and tore world apart.
The chaos that followed spread around like fire,
That moment that comes, and brings it down to the wire,
I buried it deep, and felt the cold of the night,
Close your eyes, and try to block out the light.
Chorus
I miss the way you feel, the way that you smell,
I pushed away my twisted fears.
Suffer in silence, I did this to myself,
Feeling the burn of acid tears (repeat) X2
