No Salvation

I feel the strings
They are cutting through my fingers
They feel like words
That are slipping through my teeth
Is it my blood I am sweating through my bare skin
That keeps on falling, sliding down beneath?

No silence
No peace inside
No time left to redeem myself

Now that we chose
No salvation for those who we are
Make us see how to break free
Words that we bleed
On the ones we’ll be needing the most
Do condemn. Do you understand?

Your misery, my heavy stone
My flesh and blood to me unknown
Your faith, a light from which I flee
It takes me down, shines right through me

Erased, the dream and unsure the destination
Is this unreal, is it more than I deserve?
I cannot cope with this silent desolation
And break the bond you are trying to preserve

No silence
No peace inside
