Choice is an illusion Beauty is a myth Pain embraces confusion You will never be a part of this The weakness of my mind You were never meant to find But you went there anyways What did you expect to find? In the dark In the heat In the glare In this beat This dungeon This room This home I'm all alone You have My key Lock me in Set me free Choice is an illusion Beauty is a myth Pain embraces confusion You were born into all of this The weakness of my mind Was always easy to find There were lights along the way The darkness made you blind And how dark is it now In your pit of despair The rats surround you Creatures have found you Burning away No more today Tomorrow is forgotten And yesterday is a memory Blowing away with the ashes The pieces that remain On the floor Are nothing more So cast off your shackles A light is on the way To cast you down again Into the hell from which you came There is comfort in the familiar When pain and death are your friends While being enemies just the same And I guess this is just all I've ever known It's all I've ever been It's all that I've been shown So time to begin again. rinse, repeat... rinse, repeat... repent Rip it out, tear it to shreds Watch it all bleed out and slip away Onto the killing room floor My only friend from long before |
