The claims of the living on behalf of the dead
In the clasping of hands, holding on to your breath
With every breath a lie a lie as cold as a death
Proffered kisses and faded flowers
Grazing your lips and bonds as ours
With every word you speak
Your request, my command

Treat me as if I am No one, nothing
Not Born at all
Inevitable, I will keep crawling back to you
I 'm bound to fall

I will fall into oblivion
I've given all
and now I'm broken down and bruised and battered
Torn and tattered weakened by your beauty
That I can't overcome
And I am still bleeding

Hiding behind your veil of empty promises
On broken vows on behalf of the blind
You reclaim your innocence and guilt now binds us together
Forever and Ever
