Matthew Spencer - A Thousand Hatchets

To Rate
There's a thousand hatchets i wish i could bury
There's a thousand hatchets i wish i could sink
Now six feet below
Lies the wreckage of a home
When a thousand matches light the sanctuary
I'll never be safe

I surrender everything tonight
Do you remember me
I regret the wars i tried to fight
And now many years later i see the monster i really am
I realize that i
Was the demon that made you hide

There's a thousand hatchets i wish i could bury
There's a thousand hatchets i wish i could sink
Now six feet below
Lies the wreckage of a home
When a thousand matches light the sanctuary
I'll never be safe

My deepest regret is
Wanting us to die
Surrender to the flames
Burning me inside
(there's a thousand hatchets i wish) i could bury
(consumed by the) hate i felt inside
(there's a thousand hatchets i wish) i could sink
I didn't want to die
(now) six feet below
Lies the wreckage of a home
When a thousand matches light the sanctuary
I'll never be safe

I ask myself what have i made
My world is sinking
Tear my house in disarray
What was i thinking
Now these horrors never will let me go
Let me go and leave the grave
Total devastation that i've attained
I lit the flames and asked why i burn
I ask why i burn
Why did i burn
I'll never learn when the evil is me

Now six feet below
Lies the wreckage of a home
When a thousand matches light the sanctuary
I'll never be safe
