Unholy Confessions
Avenged Sevenfold · Live in the LBC and Diamonds in the Rough [2008]
Two vibrant hearts could change
Nothing tears the being more than deception, unmasked fear
I'll be here waiting, tested and secure
Nothing hurts my world
Just affects the ones around me
When sin's deep in my blood
You'll be the one to fall
I wish I could be the one
The one who won't care at all
But being the one on the stand
I know the way to go, no one's guiding me
When time soaked with blood turns its back
I know it's hard to fall
Confided in me was your heart
I know it's hurting you, but it's killing me
Nothing will last in this life
Our time is spent constructing
Now you're perfecting a world
Meant to sin
Constrict your hands around me
Squeeze till I cannot breathe
This air tastes dead inside me
Contribute to our plague
Break all your promises
Tear down this steadfast wall
Restraints are usless here
Tasting salvation's near
Nothing hurts my world
Just affects the ones around me
When sin's deep in my blood
You'll be the one to fall
I wish I could be the one
The one who won't care at all
But being the one on the stand
I know the way to go, no ones guiding me
When time soaked with blood turns it's back
I know it's hard to fall
Confiding in me was your heart
I know it's hurting you, but it's killing me
