"Promise Me You Won't Scream"

these words may never reach your eyes or ears
but i want you to know
that you dont have anything to fear
my fingetips tracing the lines of your veins
i can see your blood flowing
your tears streaming and it's all i can take
back to the world
while im judged by my mistakes
It just rains and its constant
it pours and now its all coming to an end

i dont care to make them see
the confessions that are spoken in the dark
looking for an angel in need
someone to crucify
i'll be blindfolded so they cant see my eyes
and those of you who love me....
Promise me you won't scream

i think about every promise i've made
every care that i fully let fade
before the worries flood my brain
i'll bare my soul to the invisible witnesses
and take back my name
i'm not perfect by any means
but im comfortable losing this game

my confessions will link this world to the asylum
four padded walls for my fake emotions
a lethal injection so i can come back to life
i know you were searching for me
looking all over these graveyards
no sign of my where abouts
i never wanted you to bargain with Lucifer

I'd reflect on every promise i broke
my soul kept in the hands of my mother and father
the faith that lingered in my endeavors
in pursuit of my absolution that couldn't be granted

i thank you all for making me feel alive
but please do me a favor
when you realize that everything i've told you
is not as it seems
promise me you won't scream

i don't believe in this church
that it will bare the scars
that are my confessions on it's walls
Father please forgive me
i tried to wipe the slate clean
to live up to the person that im supposed to be
im sorry for everything i put them through
i was wrong to think that i should bring
my secrets to you

so i take my leave of all that i knew
and i leave them all with their eyes closed
free to be at peace while they dream
just keep composure when they witness this

Father.....
they may scream
