Monochromatic Stains lyrics

[Verse 1]
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, combined results
That trickles from a less than solid case
Fought off attacks of resurfaced lust
Burnt the gracing grounds

[Chorus]
Now! What will give in first, the body or the lash?
Monochromatic stains!
Now! Who will cave in first, the leader or the fake?
Monochromatic stains!

[Verse 2]
This pile of ashes of a soul
Informant pokes about
These sickly little fingers
Get away from me!
Tread not the path of least restraint
Speak of evidence of lie – a lie
The body, the face – all items in place
I don't remember a thing
[Chorus]
Now! What will give in first, the body or the lash?
Monochromatic stains!
Now! Who will cave in first, the leader or the fake?
Monochromatic…
Stains!

[Verse 3]
A sacrifice made to the loss of a mind
Folly a man's demise!
Track down the stain that allow my fall
Sickening the sight of it all
Never shall I claim my innocence
I just wasn't there

[Chorus]
Now! What will give in first, the body or the lash?
Monochromatic stains!
Now! Who will cave in first, the leader or the fake?
Monochromatic stains!
