The Hate Inside

All the while your faint hearted approach to life
has been your self restriction, your affliction is addiction
they will turn your words into contradictions

and now you try to run, away from truth, away from the gun
no matter where you go, you're only running from yourself

seems the only one left behind is you
now the tides have turned they pulled you from your life
you must devise a plan on your own this time

powered by the hate inside you've made some careless decisions
but there is no one left to blame

always claiming to be the victim, playing both sides for your own benefit
inebriate yourself to disguise your remorse, stow away the hate inside

now meanwhile your addictions thrive, waiting for what others hand to you
it holds you, it haunts you, it calls to you, now there is no way back

now don't you look foolish, how can you live with the shame and regret
It haunts you, it calls to you, though the visions in your mind call you back

If you take the time to look inside, time can't change a humans killing mind
It's fueled by the hate that's in your mind
