please baby can't you see
my mind's a burnin' hell
i got razor's rippin' and tearin' and strippin'
my hear apart as well… ~i'm the only one

and as you pray in your darkness
for wings to set you free
you are bound to your silent legacy…
remember how they taught you
how much of it was fear
refuse to hand it down
the legacy stops here… ~silent legacy

so you walked with her for awhile
bared your naked soul
and you told me of your plans
how you would never let them know…
secrets of your life
i never wanted for myself
but you guarded them like a lie
placed up on the highest shelf… ~i will never be the same

when i feel the cold in the dark
i know you're up there…
long ago i was a woman in pain
a woman in need
i ran to you
long ago i did not understand
you were making me bleed...
i will crawl through my past
over stones and bloody grass
in the ruins
reaching under the fence
as i try to make sense
in the ruins... ~ruins

i've been talking to my angel
and he said that it's alright... ~talking to my angel
