lyrics

< Cut and Run >

See the scars, born from the battles
waged inside my skull
Each one tells a story
of a triumph and a glory
in a war that can’t be won

Can’t escape from the demons
screaming out in my head
Echoed cries, endless torture
Break the ties, cut and run

Give up on the ghosts
that stumble through the graveyard
and play tricks on my mind
Each one holds a secret
of a lifetime spend in torment
returned to torment me

Do they know of the demons
screaming out, in my head?
Give away to my possessions
burn the bridges, cut and run

I can’t turn to face them
These voices in my head
They just won’t seem to cease
Cold steel on my skin helps me
deal with what’s within
At least this pain is real
Cut.
