The darkened fractured sky is falling in
Punish me and stick the needles in
Penance for my excesses and sin
Pleasure and pain are one and the same
Sleeping with my eyes wide open
Drowned in self-pity and misery
The monkey on my back is broken
Reveling in the disarray
Burn me black so I can feel something
Bluntly flay me of my deadened skin
The endless sea keeps on beckoning me
Fill me up and let the games begin
Instantly the senses are inflamed
Gratifying impulses in vain
Disconnecting into emptiness
And feeding constant insanity
Sinking in the raging sea so high
Rob me of your heart and steal my mind
Scratching at the face with dirty nails
Destitute and pleading to be kind
This weathered highway is paved in shit
If this is my path then so be it
I can't stop picking at the wound
Incessant thoughts laden with doom
I just want to lose control
Let the chaos take its toll
See the madness in my eyes
I am the one that I despise
In this moment, I am free
The stillness washes over me
Peace at last when I can't see
Whatever will be will be
Let the voices speak their mind
Judging one and all the filth of humankind
Fixing to become unclean
For worlds to be unseen
Rolling dice on dirty streets
Laying bets beneath the sheets
Worthless in the eyes of God
Let the devil's grip take hold
