By My Own Hand Lyrics - Singles - Cemetary

[Music/Lyrics - Lodmalm] 

Who was I or was I really there 

You didn't seem to know you didn't seem to 

Grew tired of being the nameless one 

So I did what had to be done 

Washed away the filth 

From your sins I am clean 

The sins never forgiven 

Not even in hell you'll walk unseen 

I couldn't put faith in me 

I couldn't put faith in God 

The only faith I found 

Was in the knife that spilled my blood 

In tears I laughed 

As the blade slowly tore my veins 

At last I was free 

Free from all my pains 

Now it's too late 

For you to touch my lips with yours 

And say you're sorry 

'Cause my heart don't beat no more 

And all that's left is what you'll bury 

Worms now crawl in me 

Crawling in my bones 

They're the best friends 

And they enjoy my company 

Six feet under there's a paradise 

Within wooden walls my Eden lies 

I couldn't put faith in me 

I couldn't put faith in God 

The only faith I found 

Was in the knife that spilled my blood 

In tears I laughed 

As the blade slowly tore my veins 

At last I was free 

Free from all my pains 

Now it's too late 

For you to touch my lips with yours 

And say you're sorry 

'Cause my heart don't beat no more 

And all that's left is what you'll bury 

Close those empty eyes 

Forgive yourself but never life 

Wash away the filth 

Here comes the knife 

In tears you laugh 

As the blade slowly tears your veins 

Read the blood 

Read the truth within the stains 

The shame you feel is turning into grace 

And you're greeting death with a smile on your face
