Behind the eyes of my compassion lies a suffering soul And in my blood a bitter darkness slowly taking its toll I feel the death of our connection and the fading of light Between the shards of sudden panic from choking on my life I see the scars of your addiction and the feeling you hide A blackened heart from all the hatred you will never rewind Within the depths of your depression hear you pleading for help You're just a shell of vacant ruin, a portrait of myself I can't breathe alone You can guide me home I am the face of your affliction Feeding new life through the cracks in your skull Beneath the skin of your aggression is a thickening fear A swelling plague for every devastating voice that you hear You feel the throes of contradiction in the world that you left Another day in your delusion, the never-ending death I can't breathe alone You can guide me home I can feel you here You can draw me near I am the face of your affliction Feeding new life through the cracks in your skull I am the pain of your conviction Stabbing you right through the back of your soul This is life This is love I am the face of your affliction Stabbing you right through the back of your soul I am the face of your affliction Feeding new life through the cracks in your skull I am the pain of your conviction Stabbing you right through the back of your soul I can feel you here You can draw me near
