lyrics

Get real!
Broken, burdened, told them, curtains
Here
Somehow, some way, I’ve got to find a lead
To substantiate, to repress my heinous need
If I can suppress it I’m sure to heed the call
And bring about the end and death unto us all

I feel!
Sober, burned down, death is certain
Steeled
Tried, contrived for sure, and peeled down past my skin
Don’t you know, my friend, there’s nothing meaningful within
If I die before I wake my bones will burn in flames
After all these years my face is pain imbibed, engrained

Oh I’m fallow and short of breath
It’s sickening, and I’m sure that you’ll agree
But I’ve done my best
And I’m hollow....

Hate!
Is this just my imagination, or is this real?
Greed!
Is this where you go when you’re evil?
Lies!
I’ve never believed in a hell
Pain!
Until one day I looked deep inside myself
