Forgiveness

One year today
 And it haunts me still
 The blood on my hands will not fade
 How could I leave them to die in their chains
 And think I could live with the guilt
 Broken and bleeding
 I still hear them screaming
 This constant remorse just won't leave me be
 It stains and it shames me, my scarlet letter
 A burden that I must bear now and forever
 I'm torn into pieces from living this lie
 I'm begging for your forgiveness
 I need you to hear this
 Spiraling down dark roads
 Condemned to this hell
 I'm enslaved here
 God save me I'm lost
 Reliving that moment
 And the crippling regret
 I can't get it out of my head
 One more year
 One more hit
 To numb the pain of my decaying state of mind
 These empty bottles and dirty needles
 Keep me sane until I lose my grip again
 I'm torn into pieces from living this lie
 I'm begging for your forgiveness
 I need you to hear this
 Death seeks to find me
 Hell awaits to bind me
 And I know I deserve it all
 (It all)
 Forgive me
 (Forgive me)
 Release me
 Don't turn your back on me
 And let me fall again
 I'm torn into pieces from living this lie
 I'm begging for your forgiveness
 I need you to hear this
 I'm torn into pieces from living this lie
 I'm begging for your forgiveness
 I need you to hear this
