Exhumed

Cut me loose

Like a convict

Who never committed the crime

Hit the floor

Running like a house on fire

Your facts are all conspiracies

It's evident you never cared about me

Walking miles without moving an inch

Feeling distance by those in need

I'm not the one

Who made you the victim

You said you did that on your own

Hope is fading deep within

When negativity is all you know

There's more than one way

To murder a man

You sealed my fate

With nails made by my own hands

I've been given the keys

To a new kingdom

And I'm locking you out

Open the door to oblivion

It's undoing my memories

And rewriting my legacy

I'm not the one letting bad news lie

Peel back the layers, uncover the reasons why

An obsession is now a compulsion

I used to conjure up the worst inside

You made me lean on a crutch of splinters

The sting is all I'll remember

You told me to learn to live with it

Now I'm learning to live without you

I've never pushed aside anything so fast

My future's brighter than my past

The most terrifying nightmares

Were all within me

My demons die today

I rose from the grave

So I could erase your name

My demons and my defeat

All die today
