messiah complex

i saw the world die a little today

just to feel the wealth of the decay

just so you can know what it feels like

what tears taste like

we owe it all to the sickness inside

we owe it all to the fears we've learned to hide

we belong where traitors can touch the divine

where the unforgiven can send us a sign

was it the symptom?

or was it the sickness

or was one last try

our only weakness

falling face first

tears stinging down your cheek

drowning face first

a haven for the wretched

the cursed

only the lonely

we belong where fires can seer this from our eyes
