Tess-Timony - Ice Nine Kills

A makeshift smile, a polished look
Some rehearsed lines was all it took
He had it down, man, he was good
A woman screams, her mother weeps
A life so changed, irrevocably
What he stole from her is gone for good

I see sirens spinning around through my eyelids
As he begs and he pleads just like I did
Is this what my life is?
Restless and silent
Where all I can do is survive

When the purest soul is stained by sin
Through the public eye where can she begin?
She lost it all, and it's gone for good

And she may never beat the system
But she won't rest until she's turned the villain to the victim

I see sirens spinning around through my eyelids
As he begs and pleads just like I did
Is this what my life is?
Restless and silent
Where all I can do is survive

So officer please
That's the man that who's destroyed my existence
Yeah, he begged and he screamed just like I did
And for this I was willing to die
It was all I could do to survive
It was all I could do to survive
