The Beautiful Wound

At The Gates

My veins they are open

And yours to fill

The beast of my sins

Ain't easy to kill



Drowing in love, by bitterness warped

We sleep in different nights

Ugly and drugged, rotten to the core

But I just can't let this die



My intellect bund

My will amputated

It's a sweet little need

Your need to be hated



Ugly, drugged and fevered

By bitterness warped

Your beauty rages through my veins

Declaring war



Drowning in love, by bitterness warped

Stab your darkness into me

Ugly and drugged, rotten to the core

I see a truth you cannot see



As smooth as the skin

The skin of fire

I'm at the mercy of urges

You're my funeral dyre
