lyrics

Lyrics:

I lay down in the water and I try to sleep
But the only thing I'm thinking of is killing sheep

How many lambs have I led to slaughter?
How many lives have I irreparably broke?
I'm sorry for the pain I'm causing
I can't see the end
There is no hope

I know they say that the end justifies the means
But is it worth it, is it worth it for me to give up everything?
I know that pain is necessary to grow
But I think this pain
I think this pain will swallow me whole

If this is what my life has lead to
Causing pain to those I love the most
Then let me die in peace and give them some relief
I'll dwell in silence as a repentant ghost

If I have to sacrifice everything I've known
And leave my children with a broken home
If this is what I have to do to get well
Then I'll just end my life cuz I'll end up in hell

I'll slit my throat or shoot myself in the head
Won't slit my wrists to see the color red the
Scars on my tattoos won't look good when I'm dead

Throw me in with the fire and lions
Make my mind like molten metal melt
Silence the screams in my ever ringing ears
Slit my throat and drag me to hell

If you call my name
I'll scream it right back in your bleeding ears
If you touch my face
I'll snap off the fingers that graced my skin
If you look in my eyes and see I'm empty within
I'll cut out your heart and show you your sin
Your heart is as fucking black as mine

I know they say that the end justifies the means
But is it worth it, it is worth it for me to give up everything?
I know that pain is necessary to grow
But I think this pain, I think this pain will swallow me whole

about

Isle Royal Detroit, Michigan

After recording these 5 songs, a few of our members including the vocalist have left the band, leaving those of us remaining with a blank slate and some time for a fresh start. We will not be able to perform these songs the way they were recorded without the original line up, so we decided just to release them as a free download. We hope you enjoy listening to them, Thank you! ... more
