lyrics

Medusa

The ghost from my past is telling me
To take a path with no entry and no escape
To try to find a way out away from you
Portray my every move
Light from your eyes causes me blindness
I will always be the victim of your torture
The fathers and sons will see it after me
Nothing good comes easy
Why do you turn me to stone
Living medusa in the flesh
No recollection of the world around
To wonder and make sense of what you did
When did you become so numb
So coherent of the evils within you
When did your soul turn cold
Spoken from all the truths that you behold
All the lies and deceit you have told
Your voice is running through my head
I can’t get it out and I can’t run away
Now I stand before you a statue of a man
Tear the vocal chords from my throat
I’m tired of screaming these words
I fucking hate you, over and over again
Finally at ease the rage
Now the blood falls to my feet
And end this war in my head
Get the head of my medusa
Hold it in my hands
Violently shaken to the ground
As the pieces fall
I want to move and breathe again
And watch the stone manifest into sand
End the torture; end the history
