Lyrics
The culprit, you act before thinking
Caught in your ignorant sin
And lying to your own reflection
You thought you could hide
Deprived of my own innocence, denied
The infinity of recurring torment
Your comeuppance
See, hear the torture inside
Devouring what was left of my pride
You thought it’s not going to happen to you
Thought you could hide
Deprived of my own innocence, denied
The infinity of recurring torment
Your comeuppance
Dwelling in a mind, mixed up and
Your regret has spread over the sea
Deprived of my own innocence, denied
The infinity of recurring torment
Your comeuppance
Dwelling in a mind, mixed up and
Your regret has spread over the sea
Trivia

“People have to make choices in their life. Often, these are the kind of choises that make them more mature, that make them loose their innocence. It is often difficult to make these choices. Sometimes you make the wrong decision and are afraid to live the consequences.” – Simone Simons
