Survivor's Guilt

[00:01.48] An eye for an eye
[00:03.70] Leaves the good men blind
[00:06.54] I'm the last one alive
[00:09.10] But I'm burdened by the night
[00:15.63]
[00:22.27] I wish I had something to say
[00:24.96] To make it better
[00:27.67] Another notch to the rope
[00:29.77] Another burden to my crown
[00:33.53] Depraved, disengaged
[00:36.10] There's nothing here to stop me from an early grave
[00:39.03] Tie the noose, follow through
[00:40.90] It's either join the ones I love
[00:42.32] Or suffer as the Devil's muse
[00:44.13] An acquaintance of the hangman came to see me today
[00:48.24] Naïve to disarray
[00:49.54] You should've seen the look in her eyes
[00:51.71] When she saw I lost the light in mine
[00:58.86] Clara my dear
[01:00.48] I'm not a man filled with many regrets
[01:02.66] I'm not a man filled with many regrets
[01:05.50] But I wish I had taken my life instead
[01:12.09]
[01:15.37] Yeah!
[01:20.15] Hated to the bone
[01:25.78] Yet she sees through my breaking nerves
[01:32.61]
[01:36.64] I opened my heart to a stranger
[01:41.82] Connected through woe, tormented angel
[01:47.22] She came to terms with who I am
[01:52.78] I won't let this become my final number
[01:57.87] Their weight comes crashing down
[02:03.74] It's like I bear their conscience atop my crown
[02:07.96] That sits so badly on my head
[02:10.55] Fuck it, take me now
[02:12.64] I watch their roses bloom and wilt
[02:17.20] I wish to join them
[02:19.36] This is survivor's guilt
[02:21.91] Fuck it!
[02:24.45]
[02:26.68] Let me bleed like a weeping wound
[02:30.53] Take me instead
[02:35.48] I'd give them all their lives back for my death
[02:39.71] Everyone I've ever loved, the dead in the mud
[02:44.44] Father forgive me for the damage I've done
[02:49.12]
