Tainted Soul
Verse 1:
In the mirror, there's a stranger,
Eyes that once were pure and bright,
Now they're shadows, (worn and shattered,)
Lost within the endless night.
Every promise made in vain,
Every word that left a scar,
Left a mark that's deep and lasting,
Wounds that haunt from near and far.
Pre-Chorus:
In the echo of your silence,
In the wake of every lie,
Find the traces of your choices,
In the tear that never dries.
Chorus:
You've got a tainted soul,
Burned by every wrong and lie,
In the darkness, (you're unraveling,)
In the shadows, you will hide.
Once a heart that knew no sorrow,
Now it's hollow,( dark and cold,)
In the ashes of your reckoning,
You're left with a tainted soul.
Verse 2:
Every step along the way,
Every chance that you betrayed,
Built a path of shattered dreams,
In the ruin of your charade.
Haunted by the ghosts of choices,
That you made with reckless ease,
Now you wander through the wreckage,
Lost amidst your own disease.
Pre-Chorus:
In the echo of your silence,
In the wake of every lie,
Find the traces of your choices,
In the tear that never dries.
Chorus:
You've got a tainted soul,
Burned by every wrong and lie,
In the darkness, you're unraveling,
In the shadows, (you will hide.)
Once a heart that knew no sorrow,
Now it's hollow, dark and cold,
In the ashes of your reckoning,
You're left with a tainted soul.
Bridge:
And as the light begins to fade,
And the darkness takes its toll,
Feel the weight of all the moments,
That have tainted your lost soul.
In the silence, you'll remember,
All the bridges you've burned down,
Left to wander in the twilight,
In a world without a sound.
Chorus:
You've got a tainted soul,
Burned by every wrong and lie,
In the darkness, you're unraveling,
In the shadows, (you will hide.)
Once a heart that knew no sorrow,
Now it's hollow, (dark and cold,)
In the ashes of your reckoning,
You're left with a tainted soul.
Outro:
In the end, you'll find no solace,
In the ruins of your past,
In the final breath of twilight,
Feel the taint that's meant to last.
