Shackled to fate
How soon is too late?
(How soon is too late?)
Like bullets in roulette
Waiting for time or regret
If Heaven's gates are locked
I'll smile for the firing squad
This grave holds no rest or peace
My demons wait within the dirt
And in my sleep they beckon me
Thirteen feet beneath the earth
Bury me with one for luck
Twice as deep 'cause we're both fucked
Shadow and self are one and the same
The Void inside still calls to me
For expiation
Through mutilation
Empty words and silent screams
Slit wrists on shards of broken dreams
Too scorned to love, too cold to hate
And each lifeline is a deadweight
Face the mirror, speak no lies
This way tonight madness dies
This grave holds no rest or peace
My demons wait within the dirt
And in my sleep they beckon me
Thirteen feet beneath the earth
There’s no reprieve
Just let me breathe
(Let me breathe)
Thirteen feet deep
My soul to keep
And so they wait for me
And all we face, we face alone
When fortune forsakes, will we escape or erode?
Agony so sweet, let us taste the truth
And test the mettle of an iron will
Breathe into me
(Make me free)
Breathe into me
I'll never rest in peace
'Til you sleep
Thirteen feet beneath me
