lyrics

End the pain behind my eyes
With razor blades.
Harm the one who I despise.
Drain the veins.

All these restless nights.
Kept up by screaming.
All these restless nights,

But still I'm dreaming.

I can almost feel the soil cast onto my chest.

Tear the heart out of this chest?
So heartless.
What are we? there's nothing left.
Just heartless.

All these restless nights.
Kept up by screaming.
All these restless nights,

No point in dreaming.

I can almost feel the soil cast onto my chest.
And, God it feels so good,
like closure.

our future's in the graves we dug for ourselves.
nailed in and lowered into darkness.
the emptiness inside became our hell.
No God shaped hole in the heartless.

I can't breathe, the panic's strangling me, I feel it gnawing, biting, scratching as it squeezes my throat.

from dust we came.
to dust we'll return.
from ash we came.

our future's in the graves we dug for ourselves.
nailed in and lowered into darkness.
the emptiness inside became our hell.
No God shaped hole in the heartless.

Oh God, forgive me but it feels so good to hurt the one who I hate.

Oh God, forgive me.

What are we, there's nothing left.
just heartless.
What are we, There's nothing left.
just heartless.
Heartless.
