The Arsonist

from Edward Mordrake by Astrid

lyrics

I’ve been wondering how my head feels heavy and it’s hard to breathe. And I don’t know why as the days go by my valor grows thin. And I find myself burying my head in my hands more than I envisioned. The weight of this guilt is relentless. Like maggots on a corpse, on this soul it’s forever feeding. Do forgive me, lift the burden of this weight off of my shoulders. And it’s seeping and it’s taking all that I have. Do forgive me, these words were never meant to be empty. It’s not an ideal world and that one thing never seems to stay on my mind. But sink or swim; I had to swim. And I choke on the ashes of the bridges that I’ve burnt. And I forget everything from the lessons that I’ve learnt. I had to move on. It’s not a matter of choice. So let me burn; let me burn these bridges so I can never walk back. Let me burn; let me burn so these ghosts can’t trace my steps. Let me breathe; let me breathe in these ashes as my final taste of pain. Let me breathe; let me breathe in the cowardice that blinds me from my memories.
