As Life Takes the Knife to Its Heart

As Life Takes the Knife to Its Heart - Lash Out Lyrics

Blew out the candlelight
Brought the night to my house
I invited it inside
Let it conquer my mirror
Read my books and laughed
In a locked room I kept my child
Took it out to be shot in daylight
It had my dreams on its chest
When it was burriedNameless
Faceless
Cornered
Son of mineFelth the warmth of cold steel
And the loneliness of the silence
And the emptiness of my power
The strength of a sodacan
Homeless
Breathless
Broken
Son of minePlanting seeds to stomp the flower down
Send it off shore to let it drown
Adrift at the sea of nothing
Peel of the wound to stop it bleedingMeet the circle
The center of your history
The wheel of life
It controls your blasphemy
You go into struggle
To take your own flag
And to protect the worn path
Sing deaths silence
Silence...
Air fills the holesThe shadow takes my place
Water fills the veins
The lies occupt my tongueBreathe
Bleed
Breed...
The dark seedThe pieces play the game
I inhale the true day
The past oozes from my cracks
History turns its yellow page...Nameless
Faceless
Cornered
Son of minePlanting the seed to stomp the flower down
Send it off to let it down
To let it drown
Trapped by the mask
Chained to manHomeless
Breathless
Broken
Son of mineAdrift at the sea of nothing
Peel off the wounds to stop the bleeding
Let it bleedTorn bitter bruised
Life manifests...
Itself
