Under The Guise Of Compassion Lyrics

Should have done this long ago
A divide torn at the seams
To separate this wanting forgiveness
Played for what it's worth
All balance secured?
Too hurt to continue on like this
Unlikely assurance
A bond broken drenched inside
The depths of our hollowness
Blinding abandonment
A future without here
Couldn't it be spared even for a moment?
The vastest impurity the new throwaway
An attraction like a rapist
Beginning to fall farther than before
Becoming nothing
removed from memory
A caustic nightmare should have left dormant
Star-crossed irrational eyes of mine
Fixation on what is real
The air is choking
Jealously held me down always burning
A confused Jezebel avoiding intimacy
So I bought it, the lie you sold to me
Did it mean anything?
When you gave it all away a temptress betrayed
Shadowed identity
A failing lifesblood to empty not to redeem
Echoed resilience
Conspire in locked up doors you had to plot against me
Damped by restraints of this vulgar art
The words that you denounce are the ones I lived by
It's hard to see through you but I can try
Don't want to go on
I am the enemy
Kept a candle burning in a distant window
Praying that one day Id find my way back to you
Must be easy knowing that you always had me
Wrapped up tightly on your selfish fucking fingers
When your mother failed you who was there?
When your father wouldn't speak who was there to hold you?
When all your friends turned their backs on you?
I'm the only one that you'd always turn to
Seven years you took from me
Can you give them back?
Because I wanted to feel the sun on my face
Wanted to wipe our slate clean
But you wouldn't change
Can't you see that you're fading out of my heart?
Under the guise of compassion disgrace me
Try to place the blame on me to vindicate
Under the guise of compassion burying
You made all my pain last I ran from memory
Take the mask off and show me veracity
Let's pretend that you can feel for a moment
Take the mask off and show me veracity
I know what you've done
I know what you're hiding
