You watch me stand beside myself I'm crawling in my old house Our time has ran its course Burn your love for me Bury yourself in the ashes Bury yourself in what you call tough love You'll never know all the black I see You'll never feel the staples of hard luck Let me show you the side door Blood on the walls of regression Let me leave the light on See my scars; skip a beat for a second Enter the space where I keep The spirals of the blade I'm dying in my old room I can feel the blood on my face Again Damned is the mind I hold Damned is the mind I hold Eyes bled Twice dead Each step is another regret Wishing to fall like orchids onto the floorboard From the crack of the roof to the hole in my head Perfectly still for my best is lost My only instinct is to let you know The deeper I wish to go Damned is the mind I hold
