Your Ruin, My Relief Lyrics

(Music & Lyrics by C. Kötterl)

Verse 1:
Caging myself beyond all reason
Witnessing the madness within
I am prisoner and jail guard
I'm virus and infected

Merging it all I am left a nervous wreck
Losing focus and losing track
Who's still preventing escape I cry
Finally perceiving my tears' reflection

Pre-chorus 1:

Shattering the mirror
This impostor made of glass
I realize my foolishness
And how this all could ever last

Verse 2:

Trading my love for mercy
My self-respect for surrender
Accepting my emotional suicide
Dead inside I crave for salvation
Crave for this hell to end
All that's left is to let you feel
We're done

Pre-chorus 2:

Shattering the mirror
This impostor made of glass
I realize my foolishness
And how this all could ever last

Chorus:
Turning my back on you
I return the hell you put me through
Now these days will end
The days you mauled my feeding hand

Bridge:

Your Ruin, My Relief!
Your Ruin, My Relief!
Release me now!

Lead: Schafberger

Chorus:

Turning my back on you
I return the hell you put me through
Now these days will end
The days you mauled my feeding hand
