The Hope Conspiracy - Failure lyrics

The threat of innocence Slashed ear to ear All too much to take year after year The mark of failure A song in pa**ing A likeness within gray matter Suppress the tears for too long And become a timebomb This is the bed I make This is the pain you gave The threat of innocence slashed ear to ear All too much to take year after year An author to a tragedy Writing in the pages of my misery A victim in the dirt Never forgetting these exit wounds No spark in these eyes And all but a memory A portrait in mind and heart Every waking moment With their knife to my throat
