one brief recollection of all the

people in my life that have come and gone

one brief fleeting moment of people I've loved

and the people that i have wronged

long lost are the loved ones gone

but this bird cannot seem to

mend it's broken wing

so the lust for life dissipates and a new

greed rises for the needful things

don't wanna think about it

i indulge myself

distraction means less pain

bury my emotion to protect myself

'til i can't feel a fuckin' thing

i've dared to dream and i've tried to live

but I'll play it safe again

I'm just a slave to my vices now...

BRING OUT YOUR DEAD



Voices wither and crack then die

the ringin' in my ear will sing me soft asleep

dead silence now is all I hear

inspration following me

don't wanna think about it

i indulge myself

distraction means less pain

bury my emotion to protect myself

'till i can't feel a fuckin' thing

I've dared to dream and i've tried to live

But I've played it safe again

Just another slave to my vices now...



my addiction, my illness

my only childhood friend

my addiction, my illness

my only trusted friend

you twisted warm embrace engulfing all i tried to be

my body's breaking under arms that will not

SET ME FREE

my addiction my illness my only childhood friend

my addiction my illness my only trusted friend.......



Locked in this cage that I've built myself

constructed out of

twisted cold reminders of a life once lost

but i've found my way again

here among the wreckage and the vampires

but i'll play it safe again

i'm just a slave to my vices now...



my addiction, my illness

my only childhood friend

my addiction my only life
