Like the virus in my veins
A broken window pane
Jaws are locked into place
Mingled cup thrown in my face
I live in a house of clay
Violated and dismayed
I don't want to be a dream
In somebody else's sleep

It is only when I'm left alone
That I pervert what is sown
Blood and skin beneath my nails
Reflects the emptiness of hell
It is only when I'm left alone
That I pervert what is sown
Blood and skin beneath my nails

Then I squirm in my bed
Pull the sheets around my head
Soaking wet in a pool of sweat
Pray for me, I'm not dead

It is only when I'm left alone
That I pervert what is sown
Blood and skin beneath my nails
Reflects the emptiness of hell
It is only when I'm left alone
That I pervert what is sown
Blood and skin beneath my nails

Take me out with the garbage
And don't you compromise
'Cause that's all we really are
Until we confess the lie

It is only when I'm left alone
That I pervert what is sown
Blood and skin beneath my nails
Reflects the emptiness of hell
It is only when I'm left alone
That I pervert what is sown
Blood and skin beneath my nails
