Ensnared Lyrics by Saltwound

The Temptation of Pain

2024

Where is the light when I burn in the fire
I stand ensnared
My hands are bound in wire
I fall apart
Rapture forming in my head
Don't shed a tear
You'll understand when I'm dead
You'll understand when I'm dead

This cruel world has
Opened up to me
Like the fire headed woman
Standing bare in my dreams
She seems to caress
And run her hands up and down me
But now I give way to collapse
And feel the ground splinter beneath my feet

I grip the dirt
Tryna pull it to me
But with my fingers sinking deeper
I have no air to breathe
The open road
And my brothers all surrounding me
I have the only truth I wanted
From this world made of deceit

I live life numb
So I can spare you the hurt when I die young
I live life selfish and numb
So I can spare you the pain when I die young

Oh smile
Aren't you so glad to be alive
Feel the spike in your mouth
And see the needle in your eye
Feel the loving warmth
Until you're dripping in sweat
Strap a smile on
Then shoot yourself in the head

Keep the knife out of reach
Hold me down 'til I see red
Strap my kevlar on
Then shoot me in the head

Living life like a dying breed
My misery perceived as apostasy
Ungrateful fuck
Give yourself to the light
But I never found it
In this endless night

Ensnared by the night

You said this would never change
You said we'd always stay the same
If I don't die young
Bury me alive

Bury me
Bury me
Bury me
Bury me

Bury me
Bury me
Bury me
