Re-entering dangerous territory,
I know what awaits
Familiar territory
It loves, it hates
Driving through the old
Taking new and turning cold
Terrified of what may return
I hide in what may he burn
The demon devil soul within
Releasing the blue from skin
Afraid to fall again, pitied loss
Into the deathly river, my heart I toss
For if I may ever come again
Death to myself will be then
If it ever returns to my chest
To kill the rest of myself, I will do my best
Familiar territory is dangerous territory
I do not want the past
So if it comes,
Myself will have to come last.
