By My Own Hand

(Music/Lyrics - Lodmalm)



Who was I or was I really there

You didn't seem to know you didn't seem to

Grew tired of being the nameless one

So I did what had to be done

Washed away the filth

From your sins I am clean

The sins never forgiven

Not even in hell you'll walk unseen



I couldn't put faith in me

I couldn't put faith in God

The only faith I found

Was in the knife that spilled my blood



In tears I laughed

As the blade slowly tore my veins

At last I was free

Free from all my pains

Now it's too late

For you to touch my lips with yours

And say you're sorry

'Cause my heart don't beat no more

And all that's left is what you'll bury



Worms now crawl in me

Crawling in my bones

They're the best friends

And they enjoy my company

Six feet under there's a paradise

Within wooden walls my Eden lies



I couldn't put faith in me

I couldn't put faith in God

The only faith I found

Was in the knife that spilled my blood



In tears I laughed

As the blade slowly tore my veins

At last I was free

Free from all my pains

Now it's too late

For you to touch my lips with yours

And say you're sorry

'Cause my heart don't beat no more

And all that's left is what you'll bury



Close those empty eyes

Forgive yourself but never life

Wash away the filth

Here comes the knife



In tears you laugh

As the blade slowly tears your veins

Read the blood

Read the truth within the stains

The shame you feel is turning into grace

And you're greeting death with a smile on your face
