Played out, wide off the mark
Mania develops
Akin to fiction
More than in a world of fact
My own worst enemy
My own worst enemy
Lifes foul treachery
My own worst enemy
Dams of emotion build
A dull and turbid screen
Cloudlike veils of black
In jungles of hopes oppressed
(repeat chorus)
So many times,
For no reason
So many promised punches
For what reason?
Ceaseless decay
Parallel obscene and flagrant
Ceaseless decay
Restrained my mind coils
So many times,
For no reason
So many promised punches
For what reason?
Ceaseless decay
Parallel obscene and flagrant
Ceaseless decay
Restrained my mind coils
(repeat verses 3 & 4)
(repeat verse 1 and chorus)
