Monochromatic Stains Lyrics - Damage Done - Dark Tranquility

There is this face in the still water 

I can't remember ever wearing 

Like fingerprints on your heart 

Reading out the last lines of code 

To the untrained eye a secret 

I bled away the last of you 

Sought trust in shapes of combined results 

that trickles from a less than solid case 

Fought off attacks of resurfaced lust 

Burn the gracing grounds 

What will give in first 

the body or the lash 

Monochromatic stains 

Who will cave in first 

the leader or the fake 

Monochromatic stains 

This pile of ashes of a soul 

informant pokes abound 

These sickly little fingers 

Get away from me 

Tread not the path of least restraint 

each piece of evidence a lie, a lie 

The body, the face all items in place 

I don't remember a thing 

A sacrifice made to the loss of mind 

Folly a man's demise 

Track now the stains that allow my fall 

sickening, the sight of it all 

Never shall I claim my innocence 

I just was not there
