lyrics

Bloodletting leeches
Do what they will
Not in me to lie still in the wake
Pouring sea salt into an open ocean
Drawn to lamprey
Attracting the gullible
Awake still to the inability to sleep
Divying an open wound into closure

I assumed it would be you, standing trial
However all I see is myself
Staring out to the crowd
Alone beside an open door
An invitation for the sound of gavels and
voyeurist eyes
It’s all me, it’s always been me
Who do I see?
Cause I don’t see you

Oh how I wish to see your punishment
Everything to fall apart
A righteous sword
A balanced scale
Hellbent, hellbent, hellbent, hellbent!

The sword
The scale
My vile satisfaction
My disease
Full of hell
Oh I hear the ringing bells!
Hellbent for their judgement

I can’t help it
