The Pledge - Malrun

These are the bruises you dealt

I’ve taken every punch

Through the years I have tried to abide

And leave the chaos behind

Don’t hold my hand.

Do not come too near…

I’ll crush your bones indeed

Don’t hold my hand.

Do not come too near…

You’ll learn it hurts to bleed

The guilt and anger remained

This is what held me down

In your shadow for way too long

I always thought I was wrong

Don’t hold my hand.

Do not come too near…

I’ll crush your bones indeed

Don’t hold my hand.

Do not come too near…

You’ll learn it hurts to bleed

Now for once I start anew

Building something without you

Something genuine and…

(LEAVE ME ALONE… OUT OF MY HEAD)

The oblivion within

(LEAVE ME ALONE)

In my spine and through my skin

(OUT OF MY HEAD)

At the edge I’ll hold the line

Test me again, see if I care

Cross my domain, try if you dare…
