Knife Dance - Flaying

A portrait of the man I could have been
Hangs shattered on the wall (Hangs shattered on the)

The walls of this broken home hold memories misplaced
And the shadows casting over them have been fading into gray

Ambition (Ambition)
Has never been a friend to me
And the reminisce of my own failures won't let me breathe

It's peeling the skin from bone
It's all that I've ever known (It's holding me back)
And this self inflicted wound will never heal
It's all that I'll evеr know

The foundation is cracked
The walls bеgin to crumble
And when the dust settles (And when it does)
I'll be buried underneath

This is my revelation
Constantly searching for justification
Trapped under the debris
When will I find my peace?

It's out of reach but I'm still searching (Forever yearning)
For a sense of dignity
I cannot blur the line
My destiny is mine to define
It's peeling the skin from bone
It's all that I've ever known (It's holding me back)
And this self inflicted wound will never heal
It's all that I'll ever know

I can't find a reason (I can't find a reason)
I can't see the truth (I can't see the truth)
But just know (Just know)
That I know (I know)
I have to see this through (I have to see this through)

I can't shake the feeling
Belittling feeling
I know someday I'll come back to you
Someday I'll come back to you
Someday I'll come back to you
