Emptiness

Desperate to disconnect
Overjoyed to escape
Pacified by its caress
But sickened by the taste

Falling toward forever
Broken down inside
Never ever ever satisfied

Until you
Return the life you've grown to hate
Reclaim your expiration date
Intentions unexplained
Yours alone to behold

Another dose of emptiness
Another portrait of waste
Unable to control the depths of your disgrace

Falling toward forever
Broken down inside
Never ever ever satisfied
Drowning in deception
Begging for release
Dependency defies all inner peace

Until you
Return the life you've grown to hate
Reclaim your expiration date
Intentions unexplained
Yours alone to behold

A battle is born of the deepest desires
And a commitment to the uncontrollable urge to self destruct
Endlessly beaten and torn by the bastards within
Do not let the bastards win

Until you
Return the life you've grown to hate
Reclaim your expiration date
Intentions unexplained
Yours alone to behold
