I was damned to repeat it Temerity leaking and left behind, miles out in the burning sea -Where my virtue stayed afloat My summer came, I let it slip And now regret tugged at my coat In spite of the seed I chose to grow When you smiled, I'd reconcile with all disdain my body showed And with pretentious, tired eyes I would look into the sea And long a crown that never fit I would not admit defeat Had it gone differently, I could have been a king! Now contrition curled my skin Does it amuse you to watch a fool like me Walk down a fishing line stretched 'cross a crater of sulfur and failure? Alive, but never I'd felt so dead That beast, she groaned inside my head to be set free Ripping flesh from bone Her watchful eyes had been exposed! Salvation was unknown to me While I was trapped in that wolf skin This mind, o' it was already forsaken! And I breathed out flames and lies and lies Let me demonstrate the lack of faith I'd obtained True self, like a diamond, was hiding and covered in soot Underneath mirrored mountains, you squirmed and you shook Such life should never be contained! So you claw and you bite and you scream I was made to show the world how much a failure Could grow and learn from his mistakes Instead of rotting in their wake All the glory—all the fame could never bring me consolation Forever feed this fire that calmly vampires and erodes itself -To only bring contempt
