“Lay With the Damned”

I never meant to hurt you…I let it go too far

I preyed upon your virtue damning who you are

Trying to convince myself I'm not the one to blame

Broken by this constant sense of Shame

My heart is cold and empty since the day you went away

A shell of what I used to be somehow not the same

Punish myself constantly cause I'm the one to blame

And pray that you forgive me but I know it’s all in vain

(And if you find your way here to where I am ..

I’ll know your my angel so come lay with the damned

Honestly I'm probably your favorite lost cause

Stay on your mind constantly but never there at all

You rip your world from under me but I'm still stuck on pause

What was will and forever be see I don’t change at all

It's killing me constantly to know you’re not here

For I feed on your need for me let me be clear

I’m the devil on your shoulder…poison in your ear

And if you find your way here to where I am

I’ll know your my angel so come lay with the damned
