Caustic Promise

Numb to your praise
Immune to your poison promise
guard my heart
shelter my soul
I shed my skin
and clothe my form with stone
shackled by your false hope no longer
this heart of ice beats no longer
calloused now forevermore
I renounce my flesh
I renounce my pain
I renounce your touch
I damn your soul forever
I'd rather feel numb than the slings and arrows of agony
I'd rather feel nothing than feel your scorn
