"Whispers Like Splinters" lyrics

I can't deny the human trapped inside
Trapped inside
All of the poison infiltrated my mind
Depression led to the obsession
Of another
I can't look in the eyes of my brothers

Nothing is sacred when you're feeling forsaken
I traded love in for lust
Nothing is sacred when you're feeling forsaken
What's the cost of losing us?

Now I'm left to live a life on my own
Wondering what this could have been
The only thing I dedicated myself to
Was this brooding secret

I fell into the arms of a traitor
Disguised as my one true savior
I fell into the arms of a traitor
I have become the betrayer

We travel separate paths
Our vows relinquished
Dividing fact from fiction

Who do you confide in
When your confidant is the one betraying you?
Time will heal all wounds
But the one I left will fester forever
Forever
It will fester forever

Desire is a vicious vampire
It drained me of my strength, trust was burned at the pyre
The fire overtook my regrets
The whispers felt like splinters digging into my spirit

And for a moment, this felt like heaven
But now I'm living in hell

The worst mistake that you made
Believing I'd be honest with you
There's no pity for the misery
I have wrought upon you

The worst mistake that you made
Believing I'd be honest with you
There's no pity for the misery
I have wrought upon you
