The Hook

The irony is killing me

You twist the knife but not to bleed

The game you play is growing old

Give unto them and leave me cold

Rip my flesh of dignity

Break my heart and set me free

Drag me down to depths unseen

Twist the knife, make me bleed

Hating, lying, fearful you

Living life is killing you

Dethroned, depraved, you're starving and scared

Searching hopelessly, choking on air

Scar your arms and wear them proud

Grin through pain and numb yourself

What you call life is truly death

Sinking lower to the depths

You're digging further for the end

The final place to rest your head

You'll search for all eternity

The bottom lies beyond your reach

You'll find your place, patient, wise

You're find your solace if you try

Leave the past behind in tears

Turn your eyes to bright future

Forgive yourself for all the pain

Understand you're not to blame

The demons choked, the angels lied

Break free from the chains inside
