I'm still inside a prison of my mind
Still waiting for the chance to slip outside
The memories that have left a stain in life
They're still with me
I dwell upon the stench of the decayed
I break apart and shoot crack up in my brain
I let the blood slowly drip out of my veins
To kill the memories
And I can't cover up the mistakes, they still find a way to escape
Put a mask upon my face, slowly hide away
(Chorus)
Erase the past because I'm not the same anymore
The hidden memories are far too dark to explore
Clean up the damage and repair the bruises and sores
Close your eyes and lock that door.
I took a sip from the chalice of deceit
I changed my ways, I became a different me
But now I lost all the sense of my beliefs
They melt away
Inside my walls I am shedding my old skin
I ran away from the mindset I've been in
Tried to forget, tried to fight it from within
It still surrounds me
And you can spit upon my name, I'm forever in these chains
Things have never been okay, but I've numbed the pain
(Final chorus)
Something inside me tells me I can't make all this right
My battered spirit shows me I'm still losing the fight
My demons prowl when the sun falls down from the sky
Be prepared the Start the Fire
