lyrics

My heart is dead,
I claim that it's beating, but it's wearing down.
I sing hollow praises while I wear out my welcome.

I paint Your name on my face like a cheap whore.

I'm always empty but it's never enough.
It's all for selfish gain.

Praise me,
Oh Heaven, praise me.
For I have chosen you.

Burn my soul,
Because it's all a lie.
I'm the master of deceiving myself.

Rip this veil from my eyes.
Open my eyes,
Open my hollow eyes.

Cause I am the son of the devil.

My body yearns for the pleasure of destruction,
My shadow is the dark one.

Every decision is his whisper in my ear,
I'll do whatever it takes to escape.

Not even Hell itself could drag me back down.

Melt me down.
Cause my soul is Yours.

My soul is Yours now,
So melt me down.
