Porcelain Shards melodic-alternative / Praha

Slowly, gently, shallow breaths, must stay unseen
Go on, don't waver now, there is no way back
This knife is for her, it's kind but leaden
This knife is for you, a bitter burden

Bloody decor all over the hall
A numbness settles in, tingles in the fingers
Red city skylines on the drywall
A sated smile, feels like a runner's high

[Chorus:]
This is not, not what I wanted
I'd never hurt anyone
Friend you must believe me
It's not, not what I wanted
They called on me to do it
Those voices forced me to do it

They called a quack to assess his sanity
The wealthy lawyer in all of his vanity
His client's death sentence would damage his name
He bribed the doc to confirm he's insane

Five years in a madhouse with shocks to the brain
He can't be punished, 'cause he's not to blame
The voices gave him no other choice but to do it
Get him out of my sight and bring in the next one!

I'm sincerely sorry, they forced me to do it
Please, I am a father of soon-to-be orphans
They made me do it, I couldn't resist oh no

[Chorus:]
Those voices forced me to do it
They called on me to do it
My muse called me to do it
