Shards Lyrics

Summon forth the rain, wash away the filth.
I can blanch memories,
I can't cleanse my soul.
Summon forth the flames, strip flesh from bone.
I can't slough memories, they're like second skin.
One cut for memory, another for hope.
I'm probing for answers,
Can only strike a nerve.

Cutting cables,
Unloading dead weight, until nothing remains.
An innate self-loathing pouring from every aperture.

These holes in my skin let the darkness out,
Let it flow.
These holes in my skin let the darkness out,
Let it flow.
There's nothing less in this world than what I think of myself.
A broken man,
Paint a picture of a broken man.

Search for a reason,
Probe deep,
Strike a nerve.

The scars have faded, weathered away through the years.
All memories remain intact, clear,
Crystalline and unpure.
Cutting cables,
Unloading dead weight, until nothing remains.

These holes in my skin let the darkness out,
Let it flow
In rivulets of blood that flow down my arms,
Into the drain.
Rivulets of blood flow down my arms,
Into the drain.

An innate self-loathing pouring from every aperture.
Never a truer feeling than pain
To a**ure me I'm alive.
