I know what I said but you know what you saw
you know I’m a fraud but you can’t help but watch
the Empty becomes me in your sleepless hour
how ageless is the appetite for power
woe is me for the friends I couldn’t keep
I hum the lies
I’m blind, I can’t see
I hear the call for the Fight but
Hopeless has such a nice ring to it
pulling poison from the bin
girl, don’t lose your grit
they’ll swallow the memory of me whole
wash it down with an ounce of my soul
nullify the words I speak
it won’t matter, I can sleep
no rest for the Wicked,
no scales for Our Kind
I know what you see in me
corrupted is the mind
I wish I could save you
from horrors like mine
but there’s no window to humanity
in the Efflorescence Divine
