lyrics

We played by your rules
I stayed one step behind
Waiting to undergo your castigation

Still I don’t know why
The sentence to be served is mine
When you’re the one holding a bleeding knife

You chased what you didn’t even want
Fully armed to take down a lamb
Who’s this monster-faced angel?
I’m falling apart
You’re dancing on my corpse

I should just move on
But your words keep pounding in my head
With your tormenting
“What did you do for me?”

Can’t believe that I
Have lost control over my mind
You’re haunting a life
I’m no longer feeling mine

You chased what you didn’t even want
Fully armed to take down a lamb
Who’s this monster-faced angel?
I’m falling apart
You’re dancing on my corpse

Sheathe your claws
We both need to heal our wounds
This is a war
I don’t wanna fight anymore

You chased what you didn’t even want
Fully armed to take down a lamb
Who’s this monster-faced angel?
I’m falling apart
You’re dancing on my corpse

This is a war
I don’t wanna fight anymore
