When Sorrows Bleed

Reach out in sorrow to a hand
Who's never held yours before
Share the infection, the rotten core
Devoured by fear we drown

A lie is never innocent
Justified means to an end
Broken promises bring pandemonium
Breed some more, break them all
Do unto them what was done unto us
Our pain, our loss
We will make it theirs
Descending in distress
Misery paves our way
Innocent a lie can never be
But now neither are we
As time goes on we accumulate
Ire that corrodes from the inside
From our collective failures
The fire learns as it burns through
If it hurts them as much as they hurt you
If there's no better way
Maybe two wrongs would make a right one day
Let the choice be make them pay

Reach out through sorrow, hold a hand
Who's never touched yours before
Spread the infection, this rotten core
In fear we shall drown
Reach out on borrowed wings
Fly under bleeding clouds
Spread these seeds
Shine so they grow into the thorns
That bring us to our knees

Long gone is the innocence
Hold on to what remains
Broken hearts are the wheels that drive us
Forward on a road leading to nowhere
Counting second chances until we implode
Shattered, our shards will gift them a thousand cuts
Pierce the eyes who never looked down to see us
Festering wounds, open sores
From mortal coils let infection free us
The final fall is closing in
I am despair, the greatest sin
Their walls are finally weakening
One tiny crack lets our infection in
You always knew this would be the end
I was always with you all along
Don't cry for the irredeemable
As we watch them crumble

Soar higher with wings in flames
Scorch the skies, infect the clouds
With your seeds
Your pain will make them rain down
The thorns that make us bleed

Within this hollow frame
Refrain from abiding by rules
That got us here in the first place
Now the only way out
Is to let all be consumed
At the mercy of our infection

Reach into sorrow, holding hands
Who never held ours before
We are the infection, our rotten core
Will make all drown
