Bulletproof Scales (Original Version Remastered)

Carry the burden, sedated by a clouded moment

As strength fades away, self-pity turns into nauseating grief

Desecrate my frail lungs and limbs, anatomical balance tarnished

Affliction's kiss, somatic functions inhibited

I stand tall to endure suffering

Then collapse in a heartbeat

Longing for bulletproof scales to shield myself from

This round of Russian roulette

My aching throat weeps crimson tears

A faint whisper taunts my ears

Scars spread their roots within my arms

I stand tall to endure anguish knowing that

My tombstone has not yet been carved

Longing for bulletproof scales to shield myself from

The next round of Russian roulette

Empathy revives the enemy lying within

A weakness so graceful, it blooms

I loathe everyone's concern for my undying flaws

Yeah, remember a time when my anger was nothing but a blank page

Desperately needing to regain my thirst for optimism

Carry the burden, sedated by a clouded moment

As strength fades away, self-pity turns into nauseating grief
