I'm long gone, am I not?
But with sweet fate I'm overjoyed
Deny the face, though she kisses me once more
Sweet death come hither, swallow my lungs
His face contorts in agony but in his heart he's no longer lost
Sobriety my single bitter enemy 'neath my pile of sh*t
I only crash and burn in the face of time
Withering away, well you might say I'm losing the little boy inside myself
Turn him loose again inside my mind
He only crashes and burns in the face of time
Never had the will to survive in the shoes of another's life
Never did hold his own in the palm of his hands
Said one day "why not spare me the shame of a life spent in vain"
His heartfelt ambition, crushed, buried alive
"I came as another, as an unknown man I'll die."
