Anima Seduxerit

I can’t reach the top, and I’m giving up slowly
I’ve never felt farther from reaching the ledge
Covered in scratches and bruises from climbing
My body on fire, my skin is rubbed red.

And I know, I know
That I’m waiting for a rescue
A hope that’s in vain is kindled in me
I know they’ll never save me, I got myself here
But no one ever said you can’t lie yourself free.

I’m feet below the edge and clinging to the side
If I let go now I know I’ll fall back down
But the rocks from the cliff, they cut my hands,
And I have nowhere to hide
I bleed, but don’t release. I’ve got to hold my ground.
This stone is my savior. It is my last breath.
My severed soul holds me from falling to death.

My fingers slip. This suicide is tempting
But I know if I fall back to you, you’ll never let me live
Sometimes I think I should give up my life
Because love to me is something you won’t give

And I know, I know
That you won’t believe when I tell you
That I’m still in love with you, and it’s killing me now.
I’m still addicted, the withdrawals drain my strength
But I have to recover. So I stay away somehow.

I’m feet below the edge and clinging to the side
If I let go now I know I’ll fall back down
But the rocks from the cliff, they cut my hands,
And I have nowhere to hide
I bleed, but don’t release. I’ve got to hold my ground.
This stone is my savior. It is my last breath.
My severed soul holds me from falling to death.

All the battle wounds because of you
I hardly recognize me
You turned me into something that I hate.
And still I cannot see you
As an enemy beside me
By giving in to you, I let my heart tempt fate
And my soul screams out loud for you.
Holding on is the hardest thing to do.

I’m feet below the edge and clinging to the side
If I let go now I know I’ll fall back down
But the rocks from the cliff, they cut my hands,
And I have nowhere to hide
I bleed, but don’t release. I’ve got to hold my ground.
This stone is my savior. It is my last breath.
My severed soul holds me from falling to death.
