Sins of Yesterday

In the dead of the night
Life flashes before my eyes
I’m paralyzed as my darkest hour arrives
A cruel reminder of what I left behind
I’m plagued by the memories long forgotten
Brace for the swarm
The levee is open
Memories overflow
They’re flooding my mind
They rise from below
Can’t take anymore
Pray for the mercy of my soul
The raven is calling tonight
Guilt is the hunger in us all
Killing me from the inside
Now I am haunted with all the guilt of my mistakes
Caught in a whirlwind of all the sins of yesterday
I see their faces
No I can’t take it
This can’t go on anymore
Enough is enough
Is this what I need?
An epileptic episode that rips through my veins
Is this what it takes to feel something again
Taking the first step toward repentance
But the nightmares are hard to forget
Pray for the mercy of my soul
The raven is calling tonight
Guilt is the hunger in us all
Killing me from the inside out
With life on fast-forward, this is my defeat
The cries of apologies you’ll never see
I’m gasping for air, they’re consuming me
And it’s killing me from the inside out
Killing me from the inside out
Killing me from the inside
