Forgiveness Lyrics

One year today

And it haunts me still

The blood on my hands will not fade

How could I leave them to die in their chains

And think I could live with the guilt

Broken and bleeding

I still hear them screaming

This constant remorse just won't leave me be

It stains and it shames me, my scarlet letter

A burden that I must bear now and forever

I'm torn into pieces from living this lie

I'm begging for your forgiveness

I need you to hear this

Spiraling down dark roads

Condemned to this hell

I'm enslaved here

God save me I'm lost

Reliving that moment

And the crippling regret

I can't get it out of my head

One more year

One more hit

To numb the pain of my decaying state of mind

These empty bottles and dirty needles

Keep me sane until I lose my grip again

I'm torn into pieces from living this lie

I'm begging for your forgiveness

I need you to hear this

Death seeks to find me

Hell awaits to bind me

And I know I deserve it all

(It all)

Forgive me

(Forgive me)

Release me

Don't turn your back on me

And let me fall again

I'm torn into pieces from living this lie

I'm begging for your forgiveness

I need you to hear this

I'm torn into pieces from living this lie

I'm begging for your forgiveness

I need you to hear this
