Lyrics
[Verse 1] Don't ask me to tell what I've concealed,
All that burned within my lonely plight...
Saw only your bonfire, fiercely fueled,
My kindling turning to ash and coal, in the fading light.
[Pre-Chorus] I hold secrets that can't be contained,
Endless hours, blasphemies unspoken, deep inside...
Heard the echo of your silence, unrestrained,
And longed to flee from my own cross, nowhere to hide.
[Chorus] If I confess I've been a sinner, so profane,
That I hated you, just to make you crawl back to me...
That I plotted to see your tears, a bitter rain,
Begging for what I'll never set you free.
You'll never understand the void that lived in me,
The ache of being just ash and dust, a hollow plea,
[transition] If I confess
You'll never understand
Listen to me
To survive without your end, eternally.
Bound to shadows whispering silently
[Verse 2] A wandering soul, a light that's long since gone,
A spirit lost, searching for a guiding star...
It wasn't love, but hunger for affection, all along,
A thirst for an embrace, to heal each scar.
[Bridge] But if I open this old wound right now,
You'll see nothing but blood and bitter brine...
The impossibility, the despair, somehow,
The heavy weight of a love that was never truly mine.
[Outro] Ashes and coal...
What's left of my forgiveness, a heavy toll.
