Sick Skin

Crushed to dust by the fucking weight of need
No life is left in this busted seed
Ground to death by endless routines
Nothing but hate in this broken machine
Frustration starts to take hold
Nothing is left to fill this hole
Give up searching for something real
Last thing left for them to steal
Can’t wash off this skin of ash
Can’t escape the sting of a dismal past
Wretched outlook and nothing more
Chains of servitude I deplore
Loathing all I see in me
I cannot exorcise the demon seed
Over and over these thoughts replay
Permanent price I have to pay
Pain and torment at every turn
Live to feel the black agony burn
Cannot stop perpetual shame
Life is nothing, pawn in their game
Aggravation gnaws inside
No soul is left in lifeless eyes
Gave up searching for something real
Back in line and turn the wheel

Bricks

Count the bricks and I wonder why
You are standing by my side
Nothing left to do but wait
For these feelings to subside
I stand to leave but you pull me back
Breathing the breath that I have lacked
'Til there's nothing left but your nervous smile
As you pull me close in your tender style
Something I never wanted to do
Now there's nothing left
Except for me and you
Too many times I thought this all would be OK
But every morning now I awaken to the same pain
Count the bricks and I wonder why
Walls are built so fucking high
But through the fog of fear and lies
You stand alone my one reprise
I never wanted this to be
What brought us both down to our knees
'Cuz some mistakes you barely feel
And some mistakes are much too real
So much I wanted to say
So much I couldn't wait
And every now and then
I make the same mistake
And now I see again
The walls are closing in
All these bricks are stacked so tall
One word from you can make them fall
Something I never wanted to do
Now there's nothing left
Except for me and you
Too many times I thought this all would be OK
But every morning now I awaken to the same pain
Count the bricks and I wonder why
How to release the shame inside
I hold you close, look in your eyes
And see the love that I defied
Whose fault was this whole charade
I know mistakes we both have made
And as you leave as woman spurned
I just look back as lesson learned
So much I wanted to say
So much I couldn't wait
And every now and then
I make the same mistake
And now I see again
The walls are closing in
All these bricks are stacked so tall
One word from you can make them fall

Doormat

Thought you were an angel
Thought I treated you right
But then I came to the realization that your affectation was all just a fucking miscommunication
Oops, my bad, on my part
Now I got a broken heart
Things went wrong with you right from the start
Did I get it – nope
Said it – yep
Listen to my big black boots as I step cuz I'm a doormat!
What made me want to stay with you
Perpetual sucker when it came to me and you
I couldn’t fucking face the obvious truth
I was just a fucking doormat!
Day in day out, the advantage was with you
How the fucking fuck did I never get a clue
It’s over, you’re gone, you win, I lose
I was just a fucking doormat
Thought you were a princess
Thought it was you and I forever
We were out in the sand, holding hands, seeing bands
I couldn't fucking see that you couldn’t fucking stand
To be with me in public or in privacy
You never gave a fuck about the shit I kept inside of me
Oh well, you left
You weren’t impressed
And I’ll bet my guess it’s cuz I was a fuckin’ doormat!
What made me want to stay with you
Perpetual sucker when it came to me and you
I couldn’t fucking face the obvious truth
I was just a fucking doormat!
Day in day out, the advantage was with you
How the fucking fuck did I never get a clue
It’s over, you’re gone, you win, I lose
I was just a fucking doormat!
Thought you were my best friend
Thought we’d grow old and stay hand in hand together
But instead you got bored, you were a whore that I adored
So what the fuck more should I expect or could ask for
Here one day, gone the next
Blowing me off so you could have sex with some other fucking loser
Thought was better than me
I guess I was blind but now I fucking see I was a doormat!
What made me want to stay with you
Perpetual sucker when it came to me and you
I couldn’t fucking face the obvious truth
I was just a fucking doormat!
I was just a fucking doormat!
A dumb fucking doormat!
A dumb fucking doormat!
You fucking bitch!
