My Threnody - Denial

It is the nature of I
It shows the beast from inside
There’s a desire for more
With disregard for all

You celebrate your decadence
You dream of better days
But you rely on saints
To keep you from the hell you fear

But on your evil hands
You just can’t hide the stains
There’s still a thirst for blood
The blood of innocence

Again and again
You’ll betray yourself
Again and again
You’ll cry for forgiveness

The face on the mirror
Scars of deception
Reminding you of what you are
The pleasures of the flesh

There’s pressure from the inside
No longer about what you know
But there’s a reason for it all
Just close your eyes and celebrate

Denial, denial, denial

Can you feel the pain?
Can you feel the pain?

You pray for salvation
You hope you’ll see the light
You feel a need that’s greater than yourself
That need will drive you blind
