lyrics

The blood drips down my neck
And flows down my spine like a river
Feeling as numb as the needle on the record player
Somehow feeling less than just a shiver

Is now when the music stops?
Is it time for the silence?
Is everyday just another write off
Until the day the needle rises?

For every door I forced open
The door behind me closes
Leaving me with the scent of roses
And masking the times that should have been forgotten

For every leap of faith I made
I still look at the top as I fall down
Wondering what salvation would be found
As the bad times begin to fade

The ecstasy of creation bearing the pressure
To please, to feel, and to
Reassure yourself that you can be loved
But to love yourself is another forbidden treasure

Being tired from your own exhaustion
Frustrated by your own anger
Sad about your own malcontent
But never content with your own joy

These are the lives that have been made
In my name without the permission
Of the mistakes that have been made
By myself and my own attrition

I stand before you as God himself
And this is my original sin
To preach the lie of happiness
And to wear your sanity thin

‘Cause no one asked to feel
Or to witness the crime of pain
‘Cause I am the normal one
And you are all insane

To create the sense of madness
You first create the norm
But to tear down the fairness
Leaves you with the storm
