Christen me superfluous,
By the lack of forgiveness rotting away.
In silence does my heart call to Eden,
For what integrity comes from empty days?
Dub me as ill conceived,
Tell me of what their judgment can change.
Consolidate what makes me evil,
In a world comprised of impotent rage.
Where did their hearts go?
When did the lava of hate flow?
By what means shall this end?
Why have you abandoned me, dear friend?
Oh, the stones in my eyes.
Oh, the stones in my heart.
Oh, the stones in my mind.
Oh, the stones in my soul.
Label me illicit,
Hang me lofty for all to see.
When sunlight touches the bitter grounds,
May the curse not be consummated upon me.
Inaugurate me attention seeking,
In that my wish for healing is fake
Coming down is my mortal body
Allowing the night wishes control of me to take
Where did their souls go?
When did the pain begin to show?
By what means can I repent?
Why are there no angels sent?
Oh, the burning in my eyes.
Oh, the burning in my heart.
Oh, the burning in my mind.
Oh, the burning in my soul.
Characterize me deranged,
As to my optimism in a paradise lost.
The roses wither away in the dust,
Of an unpaid price, a hefty cost.
Where did their lives go?
When did I lose them so?
By what means did I deserve this?
Why did my loved ones steal my bliss?
Oh, the emptiness in my eyes.
Oh, the emptiness in my heart.
Oh, the emptiness in my mind.
Oh, the emptiness in my soul.
Christen me the left behind,
As to the fact of me still standing here,
For all the world has forgotten me,
And left me only jaded tears.
Where did they go?
When did they leave me so low?
By what means can I find their liveliness?
Why did my loved ones leave me with no forgiveness?
Oh, the loneliness in my eyes.
Oh, the loneliness in my heart.
Oh, the loneliness in my mind.
Oh, the loneliness in my soul.
Abandoned. Abandoned. Abandoned.
