[Verse 1]
Elation eludes me, always an empty shell within
Salvation can leave me open, then where do I begin?
I find that this heart grows colder, shallow breathing in
Damnation will cure the hunger crawling on your skin

[Pre-Chorus]
I know there's blood upon your pillow

[Chorus]
I seek the will to be alive, I doubt that I'll find it
Beneath the veil another broken person

[Verse 2]
Stagnation will hold you over until the bitter end
Sedation will hold you closer, become your only friend
I find when the mind gеts bolder it only makes you bend
That dеmon who's on your shoulder waiting to expand

[Pre-Chorus]
I know there's blood upon your pillow

[Chorus]
I seek the will to be alive, I doubt that I'll find it
Beneath the veil another broken person
I need to keep the pain inside, that's where I hide it
I bleed the vein to cleanse the sacred poison
[Bridge]
Well now, I'm dying to know
Why do the bruises still show?
Well now, I'm dying to know

[Pre-Chorus]
I know there's blood upon your pillow
The kind you can't even explain away

[Chorus]
I seek the will to be alive, I doubt that I'll find it
Beneath the veil another broken person
I need to keep the pain inside, that's where I hide it
I bleed the vein to cleanse the sacred poison
Sacred poison
Sacred poison
