Barkhammer - The Mark Of Cain

Visions of betrayal

Promises not kept

Incrementally drawn deeper

Into a situation I didn’t want

But addiction dies hard

And the thrill of the chase

My only excuse

No chance to escape

The build up over time

Not seen, not heard

My actions alone

Is this really about the past?

Is it my own weakness?

Is it control and fear of actions?

When you know it’s wrong

Even as you drive there

You can’t go back

You can’t go back

I can’t go back

Not after all that’s been said

I can’t go back

Not after all I’ve done

It’s too close in here

Even now I can’t stand, can’t turn around

Can’t exit this time

You can’t go back

You can’t go back

You can’t go back

You can’t go back

Leave the ghosts behind

I can’t go back

Even if I wanted to

I can’t go back

So don’t fucking push me

You can’t go back

Oh what have I done?

Oh what have we done?

Was forgiveness ever on the table?

Was it only someone

Someone else’s idea of salvation

I cannot go back

Not now, not ever

You can’t go back
