Reckoning

(Oops, I'm fucking up this time)
The darkness rises, and your back's against the wall
There's nothing worth saving when existence falls in truth and blood
There's a panicked voice that's inside of your head
You put your faith in something that doesn't exist
What I need is to make sure the walls don't lock me inside of shame
The devil's breathing down my neck, now can you save me?
There's something in me that I just can't face
Say that I'll be fine, that everything's okay
If this is hell, then lock me up
I'm choosing to stay! (whoa! Whoa!)
This is my reckoning!
Signing in blood, I make the sacrifice
Nothing to prove, [?] all my life
Nothing to lose when, it's all the words you speak
You try to justify your sinful ways, don't bother me with your time
You can judge me on the words that you're speaking
[?] Fixing
There's something in me that I just can't face
Say that I'll be fine, that everything's okay
If this is hell, then lock me up
I'm choosing to stay! (whoa! Whoa!)
This is my reckoning!
They tried to tell me I'm emotionally blind
I sold my soul to the darkness I bring
It's not longer you! (no longer pure)
(All your hope's lost when I'm awake!)
There's nothing you can do to fucking change me!
I sold my soul, and there is no escape!
There's something in me that I just can't face
Say that I'll be fine, that everything's okay
If this is hell, then lock me up
I'm choosing to stay! (whoa! Whoa!)
This is my reckoning!
There's something inside me that I just face (I just can't face)
Say that I'll be fine, that everything's okay (everything's okay)
If this is hell, then lock me up!
I'm choosing to stay! (whoa! Whoa!)
This is my reckoning!
