The Lioness

(album: Creation|Destruction - 2013)

All the walls are coming down
I'm exposed, I'm alive
This is my chance to breathe
All my thoughts revealed
What's happening? 
I have sold my soul
Just for a taste of satisfaction
I breathe the toxins in
For too long I've been doing a delicate walk with the devil
Everyone around me thinks I have it all together
If they only knew the words that I've been twisting
If they have only seen what I've become
They would be terrified
I traded it all just to have something I could never hold
Concerned with things that drag me down to a level I've never known

These are dark times
Can you not feel yourself falling deeper?
You've given yourself away
These are dark times
Mistakes of the past are haunting me
And I've given myself away

Open wide, and let the flames in
No one will ever know
This is between you and me
I will lead you to happiness
I will bring you the gift of death

(I will give you the gift of death)

I've seen the darkest things a man can see
These demons that once taunted
Have now become a part of me
And now my hope is gone
Pull at my limbs and drag me through the gates
Welcome to the abyss
A place that you created
A place you won't be missed
Falling short of what I'm wanting to be
Falling into my own extinction

These are dark times
Can you not feel yourself falling deeper?
You've given yourself away
These are dark times
Can you not feel yourself falling deeper?
You've given yourself away
These are dark times
Mistakes of the past are haunting me
And I've given myself away
These are dark times
These are dark times
These are dark times
These are dark times...
