Despised Icon - Bulletproof Scales lyrics
[Despised Icon - Bulletproof Scales lyrics]
Carry the burden, sedated by a clouded moment
As strength fades away
Self-pity turns into nauseating grief
Desecrate my frail lungs and limbs
Anatomical balance tarnished
Affliction's kiss
Somatic functions inhibited
I stand tall to endure suffering
Then collapse in a heartbeat
Longing for bulletproof scales
To shield myself
From this round of Russian roulette
My aching throat weeps crimson tears
A faint whisper taunts my ears
Scars spread their roots within my arms
I stand tall to endure anguish knowing that
My tombstone has not yet been carved
Longing for bulletproof scales to
Shield myself from
The next round of Russian roulette
Empathy revives the enemy lying within
A weakness so graceful, it blooms
I loathe everyone's concern for
My undying flaws
Remember a time when my anger was
Nothing but a blank page
Desperately needing to regain my
Thirst for optimism
Carry the burden, sedated by a clouded moment
As strength fades away
Self-pity turns into nauseating grief
As strength fades away
Self-pity turns into nauseating grief
Desecrate my frail lungs and limbs
Anatomical balance tarnished
Affliction's kiss
Somatic functions inhibited
I stand tall to endure suffering
Then collapse in a heartbeat
Longing for bulletproof scales
To shield myself
From this round of Russian roulette
My aching throat weeps crimson tears
A faint whisper taunts my ears
Scars spread their roots within my arms
I stand tall to endure anguish knowing that
My tombstone has not yet been carved
Longing for bulletproof scales to
Shield myself from
The next round of Russian roulette
Empathy revives the enemy lying within
A weakness so graceful, it blooms
I loathe everyone's concern for
My undying flaws
Remember a time when my anger was
Nothing but a blank page
Desperately needing to regain my
Thirst for optimism
Carry the burden, sedated by a clouded moment
As strength fades away
Self-pity turns into nauseating grief
