lyrics

I heard a gunshot out in the open
I felt the bullet rip through the heart of the night
I saw the wound: red, gushing, gaping
Staring me down, telling me strange things
“Tear me apart,” I heard it cry

I was so caught up it what I had seen
I just forgot to turn and run

And then I felt it
Like the fury of a thousand spirits cast over the ocean
It will swallow us whole for what we have done

I felt the pain take a hold of my senses
Strike me down, and pull the air from my lungs

And I was told -- I was told to stop this torture
We should hold ourselves
We should hold ourselves accountable
We should hold ourselves accountable
For our own end

TTBT has some of my favorite songs written by The Mechs. Iphis is my personal favorite due to its ties with Greek Mythology, but it's definitely an album I have on repeat constantly. yumeinati
