Artifex Pereo - Hands of Penance lyrics

(Verse) These walls became a cage stretched with delicate wounds That mark a dying day, the scraps of breath I take Belong to someone else The dirt is all I know, chained in line with the others Sick forgotten souls stuck with lies they told And wished they never found What good is fear to a man When he's lost everything else? Trees need no bark once the core is hollowed out When a mistake is just that transforming Eden to Hell Such reflection will leave you beside yourself There are days when d**h would be welcomed as a friend But I'll live until we meet with my regrets My life of moral decay was bound to damn me to this fate Held in the hands of penance sponsored links What good are dreams when wake? To find I'm right where I'll always be Even if I don't belong
