Sorrow - Forlorn Flesh lyrics

Forlorn Flesh

Disguised again. Pale frame.
Swollen pride. Empty eyes.
Diseased lands. Broken hands.
Transparent mesh. Forlorn flesh.


How many times can one person apologise,
Is what I did really that wrong what pain did I prolong,
I never meant things to be this way, but fuck it,
That's what life is right? Why should I expect any different.

I don't want no special treatment I just want to be happy,
Maybe a little delirious from all the times you say you love me,
But nothing that out of the ordinary, and yet you've grown bored of me,
And I can't do anything about it, so I won't do anything at all, I'll just weep.

You know this is why I get these stupid ideas in my head,
Where I'm dead, and I'm looking down at you run around like you never cared,
And it hurts so goddamn much I get confused and run amok,
Make my life a complete burden so you realise I'm still around whether you want me here or not.

But why does it need to be so difficult?
Still longing for a break when there is no simple hope,
Now it's gone to far, won't deny myself the pleasure but can't accept pleasures path,
And I'm left waiting for the end so I can watch the aftermath.


Help me say goodbye, I need your words of consent.
Can't take this irritation, can't accept our time is spent.
Help me run away, finally give my life direction.
The words I never meant, have become my final plea.


Can't even be serious when I'm trying to make a point,
If I was blunt maybe you'd hear and I'd finally hear myself shut up,
The likelihood of that is like me escaping self-inflicted misery,
A visionary eclipse of emotion, which is total fiction.

Of course I've been given chances I do have eyes and ears,
But when you're locked up in fear the solution isn't always going to be clear,
My windows into life have become jaded with the scum of man,
And the final plan is to say goodbye and leave this sick infested land.

And yet I'll still purchase 2 tickets one for me and one for you,
Which you'll throw back in my face like you always seem to do,
I can't do anything right whether it be saying the right words or holding you at night,
Feel the tangled web of hate choke my throat with words of spite.

Start my solitary journey and look across to my side,
See the empty seat for you and feel the tears well in my eyes,
Realise what I'm doing is something I never wanted to,
Then finally realise the same could be said of saying the words I love you.


Help me say goodbye, I need your words of consent.
Can't take this irritation, can't accept our time is spent.
Help me run away, finally give my life direction.
The words I never meant, have become my final plea.


All has come to an end and how much better do I feel,
I'd be lying if I said I could ever really stop wanting you,
Far too late as the stupid idea has become reality,
And I'm looking down on you from above as you cry rivers of tears.

I've made many mistakes in life but this has to be the biggest one,
I killed myself so the head games I participate in could finally win,
And I'm left longing to hear your words of love one last time,
Hold your hands, kiss your lips, pull your hips into mine.

Everything you're told is nothing but fallacy and lies,
When you die there isn't a perfect heaven for you to reside,
You're left walking in a limbo of self-created sin,
A place where bad memories mutate and new ones begin.

This isn't after-life, this is a hell where everyone has gone,
Life is loving something not regretting never having one,
I'll spend eternity trying to gain entry to your dreams,
Where you're happy and sometimes contemplating what could have been.


You helped me say goodbye, you gave me words of consent.
I couldn't take this irritation, couldn't accept our time was spent.
You helped me run away, finally gave my life direction.
And yet words I never meant, are all I long to say.

You helped me say goodbye, you gave me words of consent.
I couldn't take this irritation, couldn't accept our time was spent.
You helped me run away, finally gave my life direction.
And yet words I never meant, are all I long to say.
