Feel the flames through the trees
That disguise the words you believe
Look beyond the twisted vines
Into the place you left behind
Now on the ground crawling through the moss
To feel the soil upon your skin
Thorns drawing blood show the line that you crossed
Back in the days when you were shrouded in sin
Open your eyes and not your wrists
Let go of the lies and all the years you missed
The devil inside is the angel of fiction
Who feeds on your cries
And gives life to your addictions
Peel back the flesh to reveal what we all know
Just bones and blood to give life to the dirt below
Before that time draws near, understand the distinction
Between what you think you feel, and your terminal extinction
I cross the stream into the woods
A place where my contentment once stood
The light was gone, no words to say
Was this the time to give my life away
