How can i bear this?
Show me
How can i survive
Trapped in the madness
With no hope of release? oh
Do i just wait for
Your demons to arrive?
Blaming me for your d**h
While you rest in peace
You are marked with d**h
By your cruel lies
You deserve all this
You betrayed me
With your final breath
You will still despise
Every tear or kiss
You betrayed me
I shall not be tricked
Into pity for
You must know full well
That i love you
And you can't inflict
Any pain that's more
Than this living hell
But i love you
I see the eyes that deceived
Poor wasted hands growing cold
No lover's comfort
No belief to hold
You have k**ed yourself
Yours the infernal
Original sin
Mine the misfortune
Of your heartless caprice-- oh
Do i just wait for
Your devils to move in?
Blaming me for your d**h
While you rest in peace
I am marked for life
And the peace i crave
Is a fool's conceit
I am branded
And you'll twist the knife
From beyond the grave
And i fall, retreat
Empty handed
I shall not be tricked
Into pity for
You must know full well
That i love you
And you can't inflict
Any pain that's more
Than this living hell
But i love you
I see the eyes that betrayed
Poor wasted hands growing cold
No lover's comfort
No belief to hold
You are marked with d**h
How can i convince you
That you broke you own heart?
How can i forgive you
For the murderous part
You played in destroying
Your love and your life
And mine...
I shall not be tricked
Into pity for
You must know full well
That i love you
And you can't inflict
Any pain that's more
Than this living hell
But i love you
I see the eyes that deceived
Poor wasted hands growing cold
No lover's comfort
No belief to hold
I am marked for life
You are marked with d**h...
