The Sleaziest Sleaze Of The Seven Seas

Bled myself dry one thousand times,
And now I'll end this fight as I sever these ties.
With fists clenched tight I say goodbye to you tonight.
It has been long enough, faked something that can never be,
Like the freedom found in purity.
I'm shedding my skin, destroying this cancer.
Watch me tear this page away,
Forget the past and forget this hidden shame,
Though the apple tastes so bitter sweet,
I'm clawing at the wounds to watch myself bleed.
Lay me down, I'm a new man,
Lay me down, and I am tired of running.
I taste forgiveness this time,
The shadows follow me home as I am running from myself,
But somehow chasing.
I'll fight this battle to the end, when its over
I'm moving on.
And though the sound of you drowning can't drown out my shame,
I've thrown my punches, I'm walking away.
I won't back down.
I taste forgiveness this time,
The shadows follow me home, as I am running from myself,
But somehow chasing.
