i said things i never should
blurted out secrets promised to keep
i'm such a traitor
demons live in my heart
and will never leave me pure
i will always sink into the undertow
gasping for breath
my lungs throbbing in water
my arms violently fighting
it's no use
i said too much
there's no forgiveness
no life jacket to save my life
i will be dragged down into darkness
where demons dwell
and they'll say,
"it's all your fault,
you deserved it."
they'll punish me
by an eternity chained to
a burning sulphuric lake
leaving me scarred
leaving the fire travel on my skin
leaving charred trails behind
all because i've done too much wrong
i refuse to admit fault
