|
It begins with a dark, glowing ember |
|
Something black, burning its way out of me |
|
Searing the flesh, pain is the only thing I feel |
|
Scar's all I see |
|
Oh no, the fire's burning my insides again |
|
What can I do to silence my desire tonight? |
|
Face consumer reason leaving all the ashes there |
|
You won't catch me for granting my decision |
|
I can't keep telling myself |
|
What I wanna hear |
|
I can't just close my eyes |
|
I know that it's killing me |
|
And it's poisoning the best of me |
|
But I say I don't want to believe |
|
So let me tell you, boy, tell you, boy |
|
About the lies I lead |
|
That is how it kills, I got some flames and gasoline |
|
Broken teeth replace the blackout memories in my head |
|
Wreckage from the blast, it often shakes me to the floor |
|
I know it's over but I can't go home tonight |
|
And after this I feel as empty as the night before |
|
Feel the pain and yet I'm still begging for more |
|
Masochistic, nihilistic, gorging, wrecked up thoughts |
|
My life's a mess and I can't find a way to fix it |
|
I can't keep telling myself |
|
What I wanna hear |
|
I can't just close my eyes |
|
I know that it's killing me |
|
And it's poisoning the best of me |
|
But I say I don't want to believe |
|
So let me tell you, boy, tell you, boy |
|
About the lies I lead |
|
Calling, calling out |
|
The darkest reaches of my soul |
|
I'm riddled with self-doubt |
|
Crawling, crawling out |
|
My will to fight will more than suffice |
|
While others will lay down |
|
It's only as dark as you make it |
|
I know that it's killing me |
|
And it's poisoning the best of me |
|
But I say, I don't want to believe |
|
So let me tell you, boy, tell you, boy |
|
About the lies I lead |
