lyrics

I'm a criminal. I'm a criminal. My blood runs cold. My blood runs cold. Icicles, I've got icicles replacing my bones, unfamiliar stone.

Accusations lay to rest in my head. The ester breath of my death maker looms above my bed. Their grave, solace speech, it brings me to my knees. What is it, what is it that I'm fighting for?

My body is a prison, forget the bars of steel. Truth be told, all flesh decays, just in time for my final meal.

My body is a prison, some things time can't heal. Truth be told, I won't be saved before my blood congeals.

Criminal, I'm a criminal. My blood runs cold, my blood runs cold.

I am nothing more than a ghost without a soul, please save me. This chill inside my bones remains. You don't understand, no, not in the slightest. Escape is never permanent.

They take away all of my dreams. They'll trace my veins, still my dreams remain.

Trace my veins to find the dreams that still remain. What I know could bring your whole world crashing down. Find me here: face down, blood-soaked, with painted lungs. Find the gray in traces of past plans we laid.

Before I go, I ask of you one thing. (Know that I hate to let you down.)
Not everyone is like me. (Know that I hate to let you down.)
But if it's me you can't believe in, (Know that I hate to let you down.)
please find another faith. (Know that I hate to let you down.)

I am nothing more than a ghost without a soul, please save me. This chill inside my bones remains. You don't understand, no, not in the slightest. Escape is never permanent.

They take away all of my dreams. They'll trace my veins, still my dreams remain.

Trace my veins to find the dreams that still remain. What I know could bring your whole world crashing down. Find me here: face down, blood-soaked, with painted lungs. Find the gray in traces of past plans we laid.
