Shatter

(Lyric by rednblue07)

In this shell of a house I await my fate
And the silence is hell manifest
Am I sentenced to die for the sins of these demons
Without so much as one last request?
You rattle off your grievances and I cannot defend myself
I give you my blood and still you want more
I have named these scarlet ribbons after each conviction given
Still I cannot satiate your lust for love and war

CHORUS
I will put the gun up to my head and your lips on mine
And soon we'll find out which one kills me faster
Not a breath until it all comes spilling out of your sick mind
And I know just what the hell it is you're after
And the clock is ticking
(Counting down to zero hour)
I'm counting down the empty barrels
(Now I'm the one who holds the power)
I'll take you with me
(For I swore my love to you)
And I'll see you again
(Because hell's got room for two)

VERSE 2
I can feel the madness as it weaves its web
And anxiety grows as the trap is set
And it's not enough for you to call the checkmate
You've just got to shatter each piece into dust
You can kill my dreams and bury them in your power
But at least give me the chance to mark the graves
Because I have named them all after your anger
I could try to make them whole but they just can't be saved

CHORUS

BRIDGE
Stay your wrath
How can you hate when you caused this to be?
I can't go back
Though I can't leave you I can sure leave me

CHORUS
