Heartless Lyrics
Piercing stare
Perceive the heart that I am holding
Metallic trails
Stream down my arms
It loved to swear
Upon the lies that it foretold to me
And I: its pawn
Guided blindly unto harm
Laid so bare
all that's visible is crimson
Still feel its primal song
Though hollowed out inside
I prepare
To drink deep its well of wisdom
Rend away the sinew
fitting, bitter ending to its spite
In my hands
To carve away
A lifeless star
Makes darkest day
Beyond reprieve
No more to stray
Silenced call
Extinguished flame
There, it's done
I've ended its dominion
Blood red tyrant
Now overthrown
Empty chest
Without familiar rhythm
Its knowledge, mine
Deepest secrets, shown
As cold as ancient stone
The ruined heart has been disowned
The pain is mine, and mine alone
Its grievances at last atoned
Perceive the heart that I am holding
Metallic trails
Stream down my arms
It loved to swear
Upon the lies that it foretold to me
And I: its pawn
Guided blindly unto harm
all that's visible is crimson
Still feel its primal song
Though hollowed out inside
I prepare
To drink deep its well of wisdom
Rend away the sinew
fitting, bitter ending to its spite
To carve away
A lifeless star
Makes darkest day
No more to stray
Silenced call
Extinguished flame
I've ended its dominion
Blood red tyrant
Now overthrown
Empty chest
Without familiar rhythm
Its knowledge, mine
Deepest secrets, shown
The ruined heart has been disowned
The pain is mine, and mine alone
Its grievances at last atoned

I feel like in general, the song could be about someone who completely broke another person's heart, tried to take it for themselves, tried to take advantage of someone's love. Although in the end, they just ended up hurting the person so badly, to where they didn't feel the capacity to really love much of anything.
