Bitter Friend - Cabal, Matt Heafy

Don’t let it drag out, just let it end now

Pull your nails from my flesh, expose the open wound

Just let me feel it all, just let me suffer now

Remove the numbing shroud of smoke that you have swept me in

There is no rest, there’s no relief

Can’t close my eyes cause I see you in my sleep

Turned my heart into a hole

A restless fiend with a mark on my soul

A restless fiend with a mark on my soul

Oh, bitter friend, I won’t let you in

Yet I feel you creeping under my skin

Oh, bitter friend, I won’t let you in

Still you’re creeping under my skin

I toss and turn at night, I’m losing grip on life

I can’t keep going on, I’m giving up the fight

I feel you twist and turn around my neck

Like a snake, poison fangs sedate, frozen in place

My hands constrained

And as the pendulum swings, my time slips away

I know I made my bed, please just let me rot in it

Rather the reaper behind my back than this devil on my shoulder

I know I made my bed, just let me rot in it

Oh, bitter friend, I won’t let you in

Yet I feel you creeping under my skin

Oh, bitter friend, I won’t let you in

Still you’re creeping under my skin

I toss and turn at night, I’m losing grip on life

I can’t keep going on, I’m giving up the fight
