Something's missing from my spirit,
So I shrink inside myself and dream of nostalgic days,
Times that will never be had again,
I'm haunted by my own mind, there's nothing to relieve this ache.
I used to drown in deep ponds of poison
And now I wallow in my shallow existence,
Full of broken dreams and empty promises,
It's the same as it ever was, void and endless.
Life beats my spirit down, but something inside won't let it die,
Kill me or love me, don't just walk on by
Life beats my spirit down but something inside won't let it die,
Kill me or love me, don't just walk on by.
Can't stand to be another jaded one,
Spiritual death, zombies aren't fiction,
Pain makes us eat each other alive.
I may as well be the king of the cynics,
My caustic words will turn you out,
This is what we've become...
I'd rather be a plant!
Wish I could go down in a rock n roll fashion,
But reality's got me in its grip.
I may not become everything I want to,
But at least I can do this shit.
Life beats my spirit down, but something inside won't let it die,
Kill me or love me, don't just walk on by
Life beats my spirit down but something inside won't let it die,
Kill me or love me, don't just walk on by.
I work a dead end job and I feel useless,
I do my best but I'm still underpaid and undervalued,
I'll be playing music till I die,
Nothing else in this world means as much to me.
