I KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE LINE
WELL I HAD MY CHANCES TO TAKE IN THE VIEW
WALKING MY PATH OF SHATTERED GLASS FOR FAR TOO MANY YEARS
YOU FRACTURED MY CASTLE JUST TO LIBERATE THE SLUMS

I WAS INNOCENT BEFORE YOU

YOU'VE SEEN WHAT IT'S LIKE TO BE EATEN AWAY
BUT YOU DON'T KNOW THE FEELINGS FIRST HAND
HOLD ME DOWN, FORCE IT IN; WILL THIS MAKE ME WHOLE AGAIN?

THERE IS NO CURE
THERE IS STILL NO CURE
NOW I KNOW THERE IS NO CURE

YOU PACKAGED ME UP TO STORM THE BLACKOUT UNDERNEATH
FAN THE CHILL AND SCRAPE MY INTENTIONS CLEAN
I'LL FEED YOU MY EXPERIENCE AND WATCH YOU SQUIRM LIKE ME

THERE IS NO CURE
THERE IS STILL NO CURE
NOW I KNOW THERE IS NO CURE

PULL THIS BLACK HEART FROM MY BODY
CAN YOU CLEANSE MY SOUL OF SHAME
CAN YOU GIVE ME SWEET TRANQUILITY
CAN YOU BURN THE ANGUISH AWAY
IF YOU CAN'T THEN EXIT QUICKLY
IF NOT THE MOOD WILL SURELY CHANGE
IF I SAW YOU BURNING SLOWLY
I'D RUN TO YOU TO FAN THE FLAMES

I WAS INNOCENT BEFORE YOU
