[Lyric] Malice (Upon These Scars)

[Verse 1]
For every thought that ends in violence
I try to numb it out in silence
For fear of ever ripping you to shreds
In dealing with the demons in my head

[Pre-Chorus]
Forgive me, God, I'm holding hostage
Any chance of ever being saved from this
Forgive me mama, I'm not like this
But everything inside me's caving in
I just want to hurt you like you hurt me

[Chorus]
Run but you'll never hide
I'm everywhere in sight
Run but you'll never find
A way to escape this waking nightmare

[Verse 2]
Every word that comes from your lips
That pierced me to my very core
Reminding me you want a reaction
And I'm not strong enough to let it go
[Pre-Chorus]
Forgive me, God, I'm so exhausted
I wish I didn't need to feed right into it
Forgive me momma, I'm just dying
To release all this malice in my skin
I just want to kill you like you killed me

[Chorus]
Run but you'll never hide
I'm everywhere in sight
Run but you'll never find
A way to escape this waking nightmare
Run but you'll never hide
I'm everywhere in sight
Run but you'll never find
A way to escape this waking nightmare

[Outro]
I'm this labyrinth thy will be done
Lay down your weapons
I've shed all trace of innocence
To embrace what I've become
I've become
I just want to hurt you like you hurt me
I just want to kill you like you killed me
