Shadows Fall - Venomous lyrics

I only wanted to
Kill the pain and the sorrow
Instead, I buried you
And killed the happiness in me

Can you hear the laughter
Coming from my grave?

Suddenly it seems to me
That I am my own worst enemy
We can never hope to breathe in this misery
Full speed with blinders on
Never stopped to see the horror
I think you always knew
I'd drag you down to hell with me

Can you hear the laughter
Coming from my grave?

Suddenly it seems to me
That I am my own worst enemy
We can never hope to breathe
Tangled in this misery
Think of all I've said and done
All the fights I thought I won
Another scar for the chosen son
The ungodly one

How can I purge this venom from my veins?

Your sweetest suicide
Pulls you in and flips that switch
As you fade away
With the breath of every hit

Can you hear the laughter
Coming from my grave?

Suddenly it seems to me
That I am my own worst enemy
We can never hope to breathe
Tangled in this misery
Think of all I've said and done
All the fights I thought I won
Another scar for the chosen son
The ungodly one
