To the man looking back at me
Said why don’t you go away
We’ve all heard your misery
You’ve been bleeding it for days end
And it’s plain when I look into your eyes I see
All you want is everybody’s sympathy
So why don’t you take all of this and go away
So why do you always look to me this way
When it seems like tomorrow might not come
And it seems like the sorrow has left you numb
And to the world I see
Said we’ve sat and watched you shine
Pack up all your guilt and please
Leave it all behind
And it’s plain when I look into your eyes I see
This could be the way you want your life to be
And when it's cold out
I will wait for her
And I will roam out
To the edges of the earth
And when it feels just like the rain
Has soaked through my bones
None of this will matter
None of this will save you from yourself
This life
It's brining on the death of me
Swear that I can barely see
That I'm the one to blame
This life
I swear to God it's killin' me
Seems some times I can't believe
That I'm the one to blame
And when it's cold out
In the sleet and snow
I will hold out
‘Till the answers all unfold
And when it feels just like the rain
You will see through it all
None of this will matter
‘Cause none of this will save you from yourself
And this blood on my hands
Now it won't go away
I've been out on this road for days
And the fear on the wall
Watch it slowly cascade
As the door holds the wolves at bay
The emptiness is building from
The nothingness that we've all become
The emptiness is building from
The nothingness that we've all become
And this road that I've chose
Seems it's taken its' toll
Leading far far away from the soul
And the fear on the wall
Watch it slowly cascade
As the door holds the wolves at bay
The emptiness is building from
The nothingness that we've all become
The emptiness is building from
The nothingness that we've all become
This thing I've become seems its' taken control
Of my mind and my body my will and my soul
Driving further and further away from my self
Until there's none of me left I've become something else
The emptiness is building from
The nothingness that we've all become
Everyday, always the same
I hear your name and it cuts through me like a chainsaw
And I fall back into that simple fool you always knew
And just as soon as I let you back in
Seems I'm reminded of all of this again
Bringing me down
How much more will it take
‘till I break
And I dived that stake
Right into that think that you call your heart
Hell it's fallen apart
And I don't think it worked right from the start
Just as soon as I let you back in
Seems I'm reminded of all of this again
Bringing me down
I can't believe that I let you walk all over me
I can't believe that you had such a hold on me
I can see it your eyes
Why you're here tonight
Lookin' for that something sacred you'll never find
You know there must be some way
To wash away the pain
Just like you did your faith
Forget
Forget the fear you try to hide
Forget the pain you keep in side
And before we all regress
To this emptiness
And crawl across the floor Once more
Scraping our hands and knees
So you think that you got it all figured out
I told you, you have no idea what it is all about
Now you want to cling to the next big thing
Be part of the scene and ride the big machine
Well it aint gonna work out that way
Now you want to cling to the next big thing
Be part of the scene and ride the big machine
Well it aint gonna work out that way
What, who, where were you when I was down on my luck you know you never gave a
fuck
You just cast me aside
What who where were when I needed you,
You know you never came through
And now you want to come along for the ride
I told you I know you as well as you think you do
I'll show you just how easy you are to see straight through
Now you want to cling to the next big thing
Be part of the scene and ride the big machine
Well it aint gonna work out that way
Now you want to cling to the next big thing
Be part of the scene and ride the big machine
Well it aint gonna work out that way
What, who, where were you when I was down on my luck you know you never gave a
fuck
You just cast me aside
What ,who, where were when I needed you
You know you never came through
And now you want to come along for the ride
Nothing to me your nothing to me (repeats)
Now you want to cling to the next big thing
Be part of the scene and ride the big machine
Well it aint gonna work out that way
Now you want to cling to the next big thing
Be part of the scene and ride the big machine
Like cigarettes and gasoline
I light a match and watch this scene
Burn away in front of me
Ashes of my misery
I swear sometimes I think this life is killing me
I swear it's killin me
All our shattered hopes
And our long dead dreams
The wreckage that we all try to keep
From coming to life
And tearing us apart at the seams
Sun bleached bones and withered trees
Slowly rotting just like me
Empty bottles broken glass
My resolve is fading fast
I swear sometimes I think this life is killing me
I swear it's killin me
All our shattered hopes
And our long dead dreams
The wreckage that we all try to keep
From coming to life
Burry the priest and burn religion alive
Baptize at birth with the black brush's wine
The uncrowned king unholy
Forget about the crucifix
My rising sign is 666
Can't you see the way they twist and turn
You watch it burn
Just sign right here and watch the tables turn
You want the world
I'll show the way
Just raise your fist and let me hear you say
Hey you want it
Hey you need it
Say hey you want it
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Get it, get it, go
Incarnation can bring down the stars
Five-thousand times, and their service is ours
Obscene, unclean, unholy
The losers, dope-fiends, and don't forget
The worthless, no good, piece of shit
Come with me and we'll drink a toast to anarchy
All we need is excess and ecstasy
You want the world
I'll show the way
Just raise your fist and let me hear you say
And you its plain to see
In our society
All of us will bleed
But your war is not with me
There are many of those who oppose us
All of this could always be the way that you would want it to
Come on down right now and sell your soul
It's what you want to do
This could be the only way
Forget the fucking judgment day
