Lyrics for A Final Glance Back Before Departing

I can't breathe From thinking of you I can't breathe From seeing the truth Suffocate Devoid of life Asphyxiate Now I'm blind Veritas Semblance of truth Evidence Without proof Break, this wall of lies Curse your intent I, will defy With heresy Abort the bile That you spew forth Perpetual lies I deny Purity spoiled by filth Pierce poison mask Crushed by intent Without mercy Don't be fooled Because I walk & talk Don't be fooled Don't be fooled Because I'm dead inside Don't be fooled Just dead inside Emptiness belongs here Here inside
