REPENT
LIKE A BAT I SWING FROM THE CEILING
LOOSELY CLINGING TO LIFE
MY LIMBS ARE UNATTACHED TO MY BODY
THE BLOOD HAS BEEN DRAINED FROM EVERY ORGAN
I HANG IN COMPLETE SILENCE
UNABLE TO PRONOUNCE A SINGLE WORD
MY SCREAMS GO UNHEARD
AN DEMENTED DREAM SO SURREAL
IT FEELS SO REAL
AS I EDGE TOWARDS DEATH
A NEW BEGINNING ENDS
ASKING FOR FORGIVENES
I CONFESS TO MY SINS
SO SO MANY I AM UNABLE TO FINISH
AS MY LAST BREATH DISMINISHES I CRY OUT
