Pits of hell

I write this down with shaking hands
A body breaking, no second chance
A knife of truth I couldn’t dodge
Now I’m staring down the edge of God

Time got quiet, gave me space
To carve these words I couldn’t face
First-born child, but never seen
Just a ghost inside your scene

You taught me lessons I can’t erase
But none of them were love or grace

Betrayal doesn’t say enough
You broke me down, called it love
Now I’m standing at the end of this road
With a heart you never let me hold
If there’s a fire where we all descend
I’ll be waiting there, my old “friends”
Yeah, I’ll show you ‘round when this life ends
Down in the pits of hell again

Fake your sickness, fake your lies
Spoke of things that burned my eyes
Told me stories I can’t unhear
Stripped me down to shame and fear

Made me feel like I was nothing
Every word a blade you’d bring
So when love knocked at my door
I pushed it out, I wanted war

You built a cage inside my soul
Then blamed me for the broken hole

Betrayal doesn’t say enough
You tore apart what could’ve been love
Now I’m standing at the end of this road
With a heart you never let me hold
If there’s a fire where we all descend
I’ll be waiting there, my old “friends”
Yeah, I’ll show you ‘round when this life ends
Down in the pits of hell again

I thought the truth might change your mind
That time could heal what you designed
But I was wrong, yeah blind as sin
You chose the dark I was drowning in

I carry scars I never chose
A war inside that never slows
I tried to wash you from my skin
But you still echo deep within

Still there’s cracks inside the black
Light and love keep fighting back
Something pure I couldn’t hold
Something warm inside the cold

Betrayal never said enough
You left me here afraid of love
But I’ll be gone and you’ll remain
With every ounce of what you gave
If there’s a fire where we all descend
I won’t be broken there again
I’ll be stronger in the end
Down in the pits of hell, my friends

Raise them right… keep them safe
Far away from your mistake
I’ll be gone, but they’ll be free
From the ghosts you made of me

Till we meet again someday…
Live with everything you gave
