Self Made Misery

Centuries I've waited. And what have I to show for it?

I stand here empty handed. A shackle grinds my foot all day

I knew there'll be a price to pay, but I didn't know how much.

And now for every touch I owe my life,

And every nightmare is a curse

I've had enough

I'm in a cage built just for me,

I can't escape it, there is no key.

No lock, I cannot break it

The more I grow the more it shrinks to cut my flesh,

I wish I'd never learned how to make it.

The wait has ended.

But there's no light to end this tunnel.

All words got braided, twisted into sweet half truths and lullabies.

And now hope dies, a massacre to end the anguish of mankind

I'm in a cage built just for me, I can't escape it

there is no key. No lock, I cannot break it

The more I grow the more it shrinks to cut my flesh

I wish I'd never learned how to make it.

Abusive ambition, constructed for collapse.

Dominate and reign.

Commence the world's demise

Abusive ambition, constructed for collapse.

Dominate and reign

Abusive ambition, constructed for collapse.

Dominate and reign.
