lyrics

From the bottom of the stairs, you cannot tell why I kicked you down.
Maybe it was an over-reaction to the way that you pushed me around.
Free to believe in what they deceive, you can preen your angel wings.
I will forever turn from the light, I will seek out darker things.

Light a candle and say a prayer.
I pray you never try to take me there.

My knee might bleed, but it will not bend.
Saw nothing matters in the bitter end.
My hands make fists, but they do not fold.
I won't believe the greatest lie ever told.

At the bottom of the stairs, has God now forsaken you?
An accidental pseudo-martyr, or reality window to view?
My faith dissolved along with the girl, the angel was taken away.
The last time I ever prayed, led to my becoming the prey.

Nothing's good, and nothing's fair.
Don't you ever try to take me there.

This delusion is great beyond measure.
It is a plain as the nose on your face.
There's nothing sacred, nothing that you must treasure.
I step in shit, not a sacred place.

All the ancients that never existed.
Must think we're just as stupid as we look.
And you think with how much I've been beaten
I'd put my trust in some holy book?

I awakened to the lie of forever.
Took 16 years to get halfway here.
The empty flames of eternal torment
Were extinguished when I lost all fear.
