lyrics

Something inside me lies broken
Injured, it hides away
Lines are drawn to isolate the pain
Keep all the wolves at bay
Howling with hateful derision
Lost in the dark I fear their cries
How can I flee from this prison
Shackled by my own vice?

Crippled inside by self-erosion
I have thrown my life away
All that remains is sound and motion
But I can't find the words I need to say;
The notes I need to play
To help you lay me to rest
Buried with the dreams of yesterday

Wounded by each passing hour
I wait for the killing blow
Keeping silent vigil in the dark
Kissed by the falling snow
Making me tremble and shiver
Watching the trail of every breath
Eddie past flakes that deliver
The icy chill of death

Crippled inside by self-erosion
I have thrown my life away
All that remains is sound and motion
But I can't find the words I need to say;
The notes I need to play
To help you lay me to rest
Buried with the dreams of yesterday

Born of lower caste
Not even gods may change the past
I climbed the mast
Reaching for the stars
But I hit the ground fast
Deaf iconoclast
Nowhere to run, the die is cast
Shock wave blast
Tearing through the bubble
Of a lie that couldn't last
