Self Destruction
Self Destruction


The world falls apart in front of me
I want to scream but I am the cause
With time comfort always sets in
I only need one foot to stand


I burn the bridges one by one
And self destruct all that I have built
I fear not for the after math
I only need one foot to stand


The fires grow to the twilight
The impact shakes and cracks the land
The terror of my mind destroys
I only need one foot to stand


I feel a smile creep upon my face
And close my mind to the decay
I should not be yet I am happy
I only need one foot to stand


The people around me beg the end
But finally I am comfotable here
I watch them weep for my soul
I only need one foot to stand


I paint the black future of my mind
Careless of the dawning consequences
This world begins to close in
I only need one foot to stand


This demolition is almost complete
The ground has fallen away
And my knees are getting weak
I only need one foot to stand


I hear the crys die down finally
And watch all colapse into emptieness
Everything but one foot of land under my feet
I only need one foot to stand
