Chemical Halo (Bruised Regeneration)

Chemical halo

Burning bright in a sodium haze

All meaning is lost

But this confusion remains

I'm going to tear myself apart

If I can't get myself together

And spread my pieces around like waste

And give my gift of stormy weather

Every time I move I feel like something's broken

Every time I laugh I feel like maybe I'm choking

I know you'd laugh too but it's not that funny anymore

I kissed the floor on my way down

A match head burning out on the frozen ground

I just want to thank every one of you

For all the things that you don't do

For the stab in the back

For the kick in the face

For the pain in the neck

And all the shame and disgrace

For the spit in the eye

And all the things you say

And all the head games you play

For the agony and the parody

For the pain infliction and drug addiction

You give them so much strength

When you show you're weak

Please don't rattle your chains

It's better when you're meek

Here comes another bad trip

Another life of no sleep

Another storm in the dark

With the sky pouring down

Every creature will drown

This time there will be no Noah's Arc
