Haunted
[Verse 1]
My body is a temple
For the gods of other men
Wielded as a weapon by foes
I swore i'd never be again
[Verse 2]
I feel the iron on the back of my neck
And i know it's gonna begin
I have no windows, i have no doors
But something's coming in
[Verse 3]
And if we are all animals
This is another kind of beast
This soft body is donned like a mask
By a predator ready to feast
[Verse 4]
Oh, maybe there's a cure for this
Maybe i oughta call a priest
What used to be sacred ground
Has been otherwise leased
[Verse 5]
I recall sort of dimly
Something 'bout the wages of sin
But what if death has already come
And it's crawling beneath my skin
[Verse 6]
There is a power i don't want to have
When the devil’s in my bones
When all i feel's my two small feet
Pounding their way right home
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 7]
I can feel their desires
Taking over who i am
Tied to the pyre as the flame burns high
Around a sacrificial lamb
[Verse 8]
I have heard there is joy to be found
In becoming someone new
But that must not apply
To someone becoming you
[Verse 9]
I don't wanna be just like them
Oh, but i can't go on
Why fear fire when i can't lose
What's already gone
