The Hook

the irony is killing me
 you twist the knife but not to bleed
 the game you play is growing old
 give unto them and leave me cold
 rip my flesh of dignity
 break my heart and set me free
 drag me down to depths unseen
 twist the knife, make me bleed
 hating, lying, fearful you
 living life is killing you
 dethroned, depraved, you're starving and scared
 searching hopelessly, choking on air
 scar your arms and wear them proud
 grin through pain and numb yourself
 what you call life is truly death
 sinking lower to the depths
 you're digging further for the end
 the final place to rest your head
 you'll search for all eternity
 the bottom lies beyond your reach
 you'll find your place, patient, wise
 you're find your solace if you try
 leave the past behind in tears
 turn your eyes to bright future
 forgive yourself for all the pain
 understand you're not to blame
 the demons choked, the angels lied
 break free from the chains inside.
