It's chilled me down to the bone
This void is my only home
Skin like a vice grips my bruise
Building a wall around you
All my life - I've never had no one
All my life - I'll never need no one
Fear's leash compels
Wretched hordes
With such an empty reward
A saccharine kiss between the bars
Or the cold comfort of iron arms
Isolation, separation has been
My salvation
Unbending determination
Strengthened by my detestation
I'll proudly wear my own shackles
Before theirs
Don't place your faith in their bones
Don't place your faith in their souls
You've got the strength in your own
You'll find the strength on your own
