I am the walking dead heartbreaker, my apologies,
I'm happy you'll never understand what
it's like to be trapped under six feet of solid glass,
I can see out, but no one gets in

Screaming at this prison, I've locked myself into,
I'm sorry that I'm still breathing and that I'll
Kill again. But the loneliness is too much for me to handle.
The taste of fresh blood, pushes me on.

I told myself the constant pain could ease the tension burning inside
But the nights were cold and the days dragged to weeks,
I will die here alone I will die

The fear of romance
The pain of living
The joy of sorrow
The strength of unforgiving (x2)

God help me, I'm so tired,
but in my dreams the wolves eat out my soul
God help me, I'm so frightened,
but in my dreams the wolves tear out my heart

I used to be golden, a saint in a time of sorrow,
but then the turning came and I kissed
The sun goodbye, don't you get it,
it's always darker in my eyes, the screams of my brothers
Egging me on

    This song is so badass, yet it turns quite beautiful at the end with "I used to be golden, A saint in a time of sorrow, But then the turning came and I kissed the sun goodbye. Don't you get it? It's always darker in my eyes" which are some awesome lyrics. This whole cd is incredible, and i cant believe barely anyone is posting about them. Oh well
