lyrics

Years have passed since the day
the rope snapped, plunging creation into decay
the choice was made, that a chain of events would bring
the two who remain together again

I waited, you never came
I measured time by the bottles drank
Spent the hours carving your name
into the walls of this house I made

untethered I crawled from the earth
let my pain role over the world
let none escape

Do her bones keep you warm?
Does her ghost push you on?
Can you see her whole?
has the devil found faith after all?
is heaven silent, or god just ignoring my laments?
forgive me I repent, in response the words: never again

I am the failure that followed you home, I am the seed that refuses to grow, I am the hand that drags you down from below, the architect of all you behold
coming from a mind that you cant control
dont you see the strings are what saved you
you beg at my alter
to strike a plea
that youll live with the agony

I have been waiting for the day
to end the pain, to take what you crave
To drag your coffin straight to its grave
stay in your grave, stay in your grave

So absorbed in your own pain
the devil and god raging inside of you
pulling on the strings your suspended by
one dragging you to heaven and the other to hell

I have been waiting for the day
to end the pain, to take what you crave
To drag your coffin straight to its grave
stay in your grave, stay in your grave

we stood for hours as regret creaked through the room
if these walls had mouths all you would hear is tales of neglect and abuse

I may be the devil but I still feel pain, in this world I am separated marionette, I will pull your strings again.

I dance as the devil plays my strings, moving to his symphony.

age has left me old I can barely see
come closer my son you are the worst of me
this is the revenge I seek
I take your control, sever my soul from this body

I waited, you never came
I measured time by the bottles drank
Spent the hours carving your name
into the walls of this house I made

does the house still groan?
Does your ghost still haunt these walls?
has the devil found peace after all?
is heaven silent, or god just ignoring my laments?
forgive me I repent, in response the words: never again

NEVER AGAIN
