Stroking Leather

I woke up in sin

And lied to your face

I carry the truth

To the scaffold of glory

Deeply inside

Blinded and numb

What can you expect

From a man who's a closed boy

Tumble and fall

In the haze of a basement

Into the nauseous tent

Of her deceit

I cheer up

'Cause I know

That the day comes

When justice rules

Until then

I walk alone

I walk alone

I scream out

And the sound keeps on ages

To pierce marrow and bone

I break down

And the echoes are violent

I am crawling back home

No reason to care

Lock up my door

When I'm alone

And ashamed like a rape boy

Feeling the need

To light up my night

As I attempt

To cause wounds on your soul, girl

Sweet bitter ink

Where I drown my sorrow

During her nectar of hope

Runs down my throat

But I pray

That sometime

The day comes

When justice rules

Until then

I walk alone

I walk alone

I scream out

And the sound keeps on ages

To pierce marrow and bone

I break down

And the echoes are violent

I am crawling back home

Travelling down

With your soultrain

Gentle and warm

Signs of my upcoming doom

And I fall on my knees

See the trains of the past

Playing shades every day

I scream out

And the sound keeps on ages

To pierce marrow and bone

I break down

And the echoes are violent

I am crawling back home

You know you're talking about me, baby
