Lex Talionis Lyrics by Viscera

Carcinogenesis

0

I was trying to rebuild something
You promised that you'd listen to me
But if that were true it meant that you were human
That's something that remains to be seen
You liar, you're only lying to yourself
Forever taking, never giving
Inflict a thousand lashes
I'll set your world on fire
And piss upon the ashes
Now my nerves can't take much more of this
Existence pitiful
My headspace miserable, caged in animal
If only I had a way to regain
The time that you drain
I'd finally escape
Releasing the anger
Has stripped me away
Your sorrow, it strengthens me
Now and forever
Retaliation is my right
Lex Talionis est dextera mea
Retaliation is my right
Eye for an eye until the whole world is blind
You had chosen to make a promise
To be the one to make me believe
My word was sovereign but peace was one thing
You knew that you weren't planning to keep
Liar, you're only lying to yourself
Imposter syndrome at its finest
Look through rose-tinted glasses
Ignore the endless pain
With every day that passes
Now my nerves can't take much more of this
This is untenable
My tension critical, caged in animal
If only I had a second in my life
To get you on your own
Where no one else would know
I'd peel your fucking bones
Kill your disease
Releasing of anger
Has stripped me away
Your sorrow, it strengthens me
Now and forever
Retaliation is my right
Lex Talionis est dextera mea
Retaliation is my right
Eye for an eye until the whole world is blind
Reinvention of my former self
But I'll always hold a piece of what is left
So I'll remember what it feels like
To lose control of my life
To lose my fucking mind
I leave behind all traces of you
Everything
