Within My Flesh Lyrics - Novembers Doom

My bride to comfort me 

when all seems lost 

A kiss upon my brow 

to soften my suffering 

She means so well 

I haven't the heart 

To tell her 

my smile was forced. 

My mother cries for me when no one will 

Her words of compassion swell my eyes 

"It's not fair this has happened to you, 

And I'd do anything to take away your pain" 

My rage to help me through the day 

And visions of black to cure my loss 

I taunt the pain to prove it's real 

And greet my facade with a grin 

Look what your God has made me 

Placing spikes within my flesh 

A crown of nails for my sunken head 

To shy away from this freak
