Cloaked In Need

Once alive - deep inside

Now staring through unforgiving eyes

Guilt in my heart

My fate in your hands

I ask for forgiveness

Now tell me your plans

You speak to your mirror

Speak to your lies

Do you like what you hear?

No cares or worries it's all now behind you

Move on now move on, but let me continue

As you cling to those objects - the ones you hold dear

There will be nobody near

-Unleasing the fury inside-

Watch me now bleed as I stand here before you

In mercy, in love - I'll show everyone here what you do

This is the way the deal has been made

I swallow my pride, get back on my feet

While waiting for you and your life cloaked in need

Feel the cold of a black-hearted soul

So deadly a force that alone it cannot run its course

Silence replaces your once changing faces

Wretched and reckless - a sorrow now endless

Sick with self-pity you are now growing weary

I laugh as you cry

Take me away from this place you've created

Do you not see I am striving for change?

My hands tied behind me with no ground beneath me

[Lead: DeGroot]

Gather your weapons and gather your friends

Celebrate losing at life once again

Grieve by the bottle

Laugh at the past

Flash us a smile and see if it lasts

The pictures are fading as life takes its toll

Now there is nothing left to show

Take a look and you will see I did what was best

You did all the rest!
