Текст Fearless Vampire Killers – Like Bruises

Every moment holds a question
Every look a murmur of the shame
That burdens every step I make
Through a life disturbed and blurred by hate

There’s a thought that haunts me every day
That a person’s fate is pre-arranged
And though I question every moment
The answer’ll always be the same

And I just can’t seem to face this house
It’s like I feel you flinch when I kiss your mouth

Like bruises on skin
Words unspoken sink in
Derailing all that I am
All I could be
You mark this bruise on my soul
Words unspoken take hold
All that I am is no more

All my enemies are memories
Every one embedded in my brain
You put up walls to keep your ghosts at bay
What use are walls with evil this ingrained

In every inch and fibre of my being
Twisting thoughts to pain and whispering
Rumours of a faded love
It’s breaking point I’ve had enough

And I just can’t seem to face this house
It’s like I feel you flinch when I kiss your mouth

Like bruises on skin
Words unspoken sink in
Derailing all that I am

The hall light flickers cruelly
As I search the sheets for sleep
But it’s nowhere to be found here
In the blackest night

Like bruises on skin
Words unspoken sink in
Derailing all that I am
All I could be
You mark this bruise on my soul
Words unspoken take hold
All that I am
All that I am
All that I am is no more
