Strip me naked of all my lies
and wipe clean the paint of disguise.
Take away the scars of war.
And take my mercy, I don’t want it anymore.
Shards of ice encase my heart
I don’t want the healing to start.
For one good memory the darkness asked it’s price,
and I paid unknowingly, but I paid it twice.
I lost my love, the greatest cost,
but that is only half of what I lost.
I lost my dignity,
and the friends that meant so much to me.
I lost my pride,
this one mistake because I lied.
Strip me naked of all my lies.
And wipe clean the pain of disguise.
Open my heart with solemn vow,
lord and lady heal me now
give me back the life I need
and please don’t take my right to bleed.
