One brief recollection of all the
people in my life that have
come and gone
One brief fleeting moment of
people I`ve loved and people that
I have wronged
Long lost are loved ones gone
but this bird cannot seem to
mend it`s broken wings so the
Lust for life dissipated and
a new greed rises for the
needful things.
Don`t wanna think about it, I
Indulge myself,
distraction eases pain, bury my
Emotions to protect myself.
till I can`t feel a fucking thing
I`ve dared to dream I`ve tried
to live,
but I`ve played it safe again
Just another slave to my vices now,
Bring out your dead
Voices wither and crack then die
ringin` in my ear would sing me
soft asleep
Deathly silence now is all I hear
has inspiration finally eluded me
My addiction, my illness, my only
trusted friend
My addiction my illness my only
childhood fiend.
Your twisted warm embrace
engulfing all I tried to be
My body`s breaking under
arms that will not set me free
Locked in this cage that I`ve
built myself
constructed out of twisted cold
reminders of a life once lost
But I`ve found my way again.
Here among the wreckage and the
vampires
I`ll play it safe again,
just another slave to my vices now.
