Tears of sorrow, of hate, of hurt.
Like ruined paints on cream canvas,
Dripping, running, falling into the bitter sweet emptiness,
Someone save my heart before the inky blackness consumes me whole.
Like ruined paints on cream canvas,
Through cries in the vacant night my soul pours out and drains me dry,
Someone save my heart before the inky blackness consumes me whole.
Will I forever wallow in the guilty grief of my innocent crimes?
Through cries in the vacant night my soul pours out and drains me dry,
Dripping, running, falling into the bitter sweet emptiness,
Will I forever wallow in the guilty grief of my innocent crimes?
Tears of sorrow, of hate, of hurt.
