Cut through the steel with the edge of a file
From the bottom of my heart
Comes a cold dark feeling
Paralyzed with phantom pains
Dogs in the meadows barking wild
I've enraptured you with lies
But I once crossed a quarter mile
Where I just sleep through endless days
From the bottom of my heart
Don't lose time looking in my eyes
In the layers I'm peeling
A ballad is sung
Blackbird rise up and tell me what have you done
While singing rhapsodies in stride
Into the rays of the sun
From the bottom of my heart
I have buried so much
With no sign of leaving
From the bottom of my heart
Black smoke rise up, now burn on, burn higher
Comes a cold dark feeling
There's nothing inside that I want back
To the promise I'm keeping
Comes a cold dark feeling
A battle will come
And tonight everything is mine
Comes a cold dark feeling
Wrapped around tight
Into the rays of the sun
Two-face and compromised
Where thoughts break up exploding in space
Marching back up the steps
Do you wonder how I am tonight
In the layers I'm peeling
Into the rays of the sun
There is nothing but dust
Comes an army of one
I'm not drunk and I'm not sad
Before this room became just a place
Marching back up the steps
I smell leaves and burning tires
Now under crushing skies of grays
From the bottom of my heart
From the bottom of my heart
Spinning webs and carving names
Through a whisper she comes
Coming up from the depths
From the bottom of my heart
Pale-faced and hollowed eyes
Beats a rattling drum
Through black pools of razor wires
Let me touch your lips, let me see where you're at
Hellbent and dignified
Not every tear means you're gonna cry
Buried under ruptured skies
Not every smile means I'm laughing inside
Everything means nothing
From the bottom of my heart
There is eminent death
Now my time has come
Who you fooling and why?
