Vitriol - Pain Confessor

Like an outcast pariah

A soul without a shelter

All my youth I struggled with rage

And though it would never end

From within the darkness that clouded me

I saw a shimmer that lit up the skies

And for the very first time I knew

That my life had meaning

I walk into a new dawn

As the darkness divides

And reveals an all new light

That blinds me and makes me alive

There’s no more room for hate

No room for selfish pride

Flowing with vitriol no more

I stand here with my soul bare before you

Just one look and there is no weakness left in me

To rise and fall for you

I am the armor to protect

I am the salve to heal

This lonely, battered soul, seeking peaceful haven

Scarred and burnt for life, please let me stay for a while

There’s no more I

No room for selfish me

Just the patron’s vigour

And a promise to keep

There’s no more room for hate

Farewell to tortured spite

I cannot find myself lost in rancour

No more

I stand here with my soul bare before you

Just one look and there is no weakness left in me

To rise and fall for you

I am the armor to protect

I am the salve to heal

This lonely, battered soul, seeking peaceful haven

Scarred and burnt for life, please let me stay for a while

I… I stand here with my soul bare before you

Just one look and there is no weakness left in me

To rise and fall for you

I am the armor to protect

I stand here with my soul bare before you

Just one look and there is no weakness left in me

To rise and fall for you

I am the armor to protect

I am the salve to heal
