Vespertine Lyrics

I can't seem to get out of my head

Wish my brain was rotting instead

The devil has put his hands on me

I feel like burning in Hell for the thrill

The ground beneath my feet is not what I thought

I created this prison for myself

The demons are all now my friends

A reprieve? I'll take the heat instead

Don't wait for me. I deserve to be here

Deep in this darkness, surrounded by fear

I don't ever plan to break free

From this place where I rot in peace

The chance to leave I would not take

Peeling off my skin, your touch I cannot shake

My soul should be burned with haste

What's been done can't be taken back

I don't want to live with the weight of the world because your mind went black

You just took what you thought was yours

I see you, vespertine

The ground beneath my feet is not what I thought

I am the one who keeps me here

I assumed your consequence. Torturing myself the way you deserve

Hell is not enough punishment for you
