My Ruin - Hemorrhage

i stick my finger down your throat
explore my thoughts of murder
a journey through the human heart
dark places filled with terror
obsession lets me have my way
devotion makes you stay
this mercy seat you imitate
won’t let you get away

in praise of him i pray
in praise of him i save
in praise of him i give myself away

come kiss away my honesty
exploit me with your pain
learn to love this monster you created in your name
confession lets you face your fear
redemption leaves a stain
the thought of me makes you so sick
there’s nothing left to hate

in praise of him i pray
in praise of him i save
inp raise of him i give myself away again
in praise of him i’ve prayed
in praise of him i’m saved
in praise of him i gave myself away

a different sort of suffering
i practise what i preach
aromatherapeutic death
can you smell me speak
if violence is religion then everyone’s a star
it doesn’t matter what you’ve done

only who you are
who you are
who you are
underneath the hollywood cross
underneath this holy wood cross

my lover let me tie you down
hold your heart my hostage
i promise after i am through
your skin will still taste salted
my mouth is not your enemy
my lips are not your friend
if we were still together
i would torture you again

in praise of him i pray
in praise of him i save
in praise of him i give myself away
in praise of him i’ve prayed
in praise of him i’m saved
in praise of him i hate myself today

you never know what you will find
until you look inside
i never knew what i would find
and then i looked inside

let me torture you again
torture you my friend
let me torture you again
torture you my friend
let me torture you again
like you torture me my friend
let me torture you again
torture you my friend
it never ends
