planet earth is a dark cold prison
and the walls are closing in
a glimpse of death inside my prism
nails puncturing my skin
make me, take me, break me, forsake me
cracked looking glass, a shattered picture
living in me, still bleeding, forgive me
dead vision fed, a broken fixture
open your eyes, it’s time to be alive
no time spared for sacrifice
there is no time to walk the line
here, this spirit needs to realign
you point me down just like a needle
everytime, how you leave me cold
wrap living flesh around the steeple
these broken nails, so dark and old
(open this flesh, this living mess
one day it might just die again
careful, i might just rot away)
taking the path that leads the wrong way
all that lives in me i’ve thrown away
all the needles in me are yesterdays
you shouldn’t let me be alive today
everyday a world dies, inside these crystal eyes
(just cast it down into the fire)
down on all fours, dead, bound and nailed to the floor
(and i shall never go higher)
