"Confession Song" lyrics

"Confession Song"

I must confess I've tried my best
Temptation's curse is cruel
I promise I've tried to hide from my mind
But I always seem to lose
One cold wet night
A shattered light
Shot out straight from the moon
It led me to a hopeless truth
I could've only found alone

It showed me times when I was cold
Desire's lonely fool
Love to fuck, but then think, "I wanna hang off a brink"
My heart alone and disowned
It revealed just when I had no reason
No credentials to loan

So I used to find wicked comfort in lying
To people I love the most
But now they're gone, they've left me drawn
I laugh and bleed alone
My hands are splintered through their palms
No, I can't reach for hope

The lights still shone, so bright upon
My wretched reflection
My soul, a starved ugly mule
Collapsing under the weight of
A thousand angel sinds
Millions of children's cold dark, dreams
Bad luck and destiny drown me
In my sea of selfish schemes

I used to see myself so clear
It's strangers lustful minds
Clearer than I've ever seen
Looking through my own dreary eyes
From pretty boys, who filled short joys
My mother, my dog, my home

They don't know just what I've done
Or the depths of the debt I owe
That no honesty could ever repay
Through sacrifice alone
So I'll condemn the earth to die screaming
My name from babylon
So I'll condemn the earth to die screaming
My name from bablyon

Oh blood-red babylon
Burning babylon
Blood-red babylon
