Tales of Torment: Drawing Circles
I once again have done something that I said I’d never again do, and so the cycle continues.
over and over, i've said never again
why would i go back, if i already died to my sin
drawing circles to no end,
it's in these tales of torment i release cries from within
envious of the peace i see but cannot have
it's against the waves of the sea of red i cannot last
lying on my back, trying hard not to relapse
how could i go back, if i already died to my sin
it's in slumber's absence and void's company, i can't relax
wishing my eyes'd turn back
wishing my skys'd turn black
i don't try to gratify the bad inside,
but against desire is a war i cannot win
the lust of my eyes will soon leave me blind
and the casualties of my spirit's war will loom over me in time
how i purge with the sun and binge with the moon,
my end will be all but too soon
i'll never forget poison's voice
i feel the need to call back
but how that choice ends is all bad
pleasure is a perilous pursuit, i cant feed that
lying on my back, trying hard not to relapse
wasting time i can't repurchase, waiting for my vice to be replaced
and for that purpose the lies on my back are spoken by the mask on my face
i question why's this heart in my chest
can i take it apart and sweep away what's left?
the world's treasure is an empty chest
gold and silver have been lost to theft
lying on my back, i'm trying hard not to relapse
but to fight against desire, fallen soldiers are a hateful subtraction,
and the spoils of a war that i cannot win, are a fateful attraction
there is no date so full of such evil satisfaction
why do i go back, i thought i died to my sin
committed only against me, drawing circles to no end
to binge and purge again, this cycle has no end
these tales of torment are along a storyline with no end
