lyrics
Vision is blurring, my limbs growing numb
Exhausted and sick
Struggling to breathe, to think straight or see
Vibrations constrict
Scarred - fears of both future and past
Course through my head
Frantic and hopeless anxieties dragging like lead
The dream is dead
Nothing ventured
And nothing gained
Just mass confusion
No one left to help me stop the pain
Beaten and broken, in both life and love
Completely depressed
Forever put down, and no one's first choice
Always second best
Cursed - waste not your worry on wastrels
On one such as I
Heart and mind shattered, and happiness lost unto time
Just begging to die
Nothing ventured
And nothing gained
Just mass confusion
No one left to help me stop the pain
I'm hard to impress
Yet harder to kill
A failure at both life and death
A life of agony, forever unfulfilled
Inverse wealth of creeping dread
Within the turmoil's rage
Conquer the oncoming fear
Advance to the next stage
Like the sorrowing old man
At eternity's gate
Alleviation will harmonise
Those moments of grief and pain
Woe to conquered and woe to the slave
I am the master and you will obey
A tower of sin who'd die if he could
In suffering and death, not worth my weight in...
