No Innocence Left in the Fire They Demanded

Cut my veins and watch me bleed

Is it simple desire or desperate need

Light the fire burning deep inside me

See it suffocate me from within

Don’t come close, just let me fade away

Whatever you’re seeking, I can’t make it stay

Search all you want, there’s nothing to see

The thing that you’re after is not in me

Bury the pieces too broken to mend

Carry the weight that will never end

Every reflection turns into decay

The life that I had is slipping away

As my body withers, it all turns to ash

The air still polluted by ghosts of the past

Every false word still lingers and clings

A chorus of lies that corruption still sings

Shatter the soul that once tried to fight

Extinguish the flame that once gave me light

The end that I craved has finally come near

No one can reach me, I am no longer here
