[Instrumental]

[Verse 1]

Gluttony, greed, pride and wrath I seek to bleed and to blight my path, the sins I seek are so meek in comparison to the burns you've left in my mind, children should never be forced to find (the terror that lurks inside, cast by you)-

[Verse 2]

Envy, sloth and lust, I'm drawn to the darkness of the unknown, I'm still trying to draw from my traumas but what if the well runs dry? What if that's the goal that I seek?

[Instrumental]

[Pre-Chorus]

Your memory still serves as my fuel, your filth still serves as a muse, I'm digging to the core, the filthy floor that you left me to wonder, is any of this real?

[Chorus]

Alone in the dark, I'm alone in the dark with a rope tied round my neck, burns on my back, horrors in check, I'm alone, I'm alone in the dark (won't you please, won't you please come and find me?)

[Post-Chorus]

My voice is weakened and strained, from crying your name in vein, you made me regret what I cannot forget, now you hide right there in plain sight, you swore you'd never leave my side-

[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]

I'm laying here reeling from the doubts of denying you your vision of truth, am I being defiant, forcing my way out by placing my blame on you? Is this what you wanted me to do?

[Verse 4]

Where oh where does the control stop, why oh why do I feel like a doll, pulled taut with brass strings, made to sing whenever I feel you call, the memories they linger over everything you've seen-

[Instrumental]

[Pre-Chorus]

Your memory still serves as my fuel, your filth still serves as a muse, I'm digging to the core, the filthy floor that you left me to wonder, is any of this real?

[Chorus]

Alone in the dark, I'm alone in the dark with a rope tied round my neck, burns on my back, horrors in check, I'm alone, I'm alone in the dark (won't you please, won't you please come and find me?)

[Post-Chorus]

My voice is weakened and strained, from crying your name in vein, you made me regret what I cannot forget, now you hide right there in plain sight, you swore you'd never leave my side-

[Instrumental]

[Breakdown]

Store these abuses away! They're too much, too difficult to say! My mind cannot take it and my family cannot fake it, they doubt, I doubt so just shove it away! Just forget this all began, and run whenever that man comes by, surely he'll forget me and I'll regret, not telling, not sharing, I'll die (with the weight of you)-

[Instrumental]
