Sink Or Swim
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
For so long I have lived with this affliction,
For so long I cant forget.
In my heart I am burdened by temptation.
To understand is to regret.
I bow to no-one,
Id fucking die for my beliefs.
But this is senseless and no-one cares if you believe.
I fall beneath you, the crushing wave of my defeat.
Has stirred withing me, another tide of apathy.
The coffins closing, the maggots feast on my decay.
Im slowly drifting into this hole that I have made.
It feels so cold, without you here
I am drowning in pools of blood.
Fuck you and fuck your sorrow, you left me here to fucking drown.
As her screams fill the silence,as her warmth returns to cold.
Will you bleed for forgiveness, as I drive this dagger home?
In the wake of transgression, in the coldness of despair.
They will mourn for your ending, and for the life that you became.
Lets make a toast to all your friends, they will witness your final breath.
Lets make a toast to all your friends, they will witness your final breath.
This is the last I fucking love you, before I end your fucking life.
This is the last I fucking love you, before I end your fucking life..
