Guilty

Aching hearts burst open inside our chests
Breaking bones snap through the skin
Purple and black marks form on my face
Bruised from the beatings
The lashing of your fucking forked tongue
A devil dressed as a servant of authority
I am the one made to carry the burdens not you
Walking on my own I look in the mirror to find
The verdict still isn't lifted and I am guilty
Marked as the beast of all mankind
Waisting away, my damnation is yet to come about
Flying into new arms now
Looking for the love that was never there when I asked
False hope springs up like evaporated water in the heat
A sun of eternal witness bears down on my back
Baking me alive I cry out just to be struck down
Kill me now and let me go, I no longer wish to live
Depressing the life from me the darkness covers my eyes
Create for me a new star, one to guide me home
Yet living in a time where I am distant
I don't even know who I was made to be
Going back and covering my tracks
Now I will never return to the man I once was
Lost in a forrest for a million years
Caught up in the glitter of fairies of fireflys
Finally finding some rest in the bosom of the wretched
I am guilty, just as guilty as the next man
Unable to remove myself from temptation
Does this not make me a man since I fall like them all?
Over and over am I the only one with this problem?
So free the three, the secret things of my heart
Love joy and peace, things that I wish to meet
Locked forever to hate malice and lust
How do I break the chains that keep me bogged down?
Do you see it written all over my face
The lies that I told and put in your place
Covered in the shame now of every dirty thing
Cleanse me by the blade and bring about my death
A furry in the earth from destroying her own new birth
Open up and swallow me as I pass from this place to new life
Hope that is fated with fire, the future I look forward to
Now I will render to Ceaser what is Ceaser's
And to death what is death's
Take me away in the eternal chains, I don't deserve to wash my face
Keep the dust packed on tight so all will know
That this is my penality, don't ever live like this
