lyrics

Let me tell you a story about the man who loved to play with fire,
He's the backfired rocketship, he's the seed that never splits.
Some trees just cant bloom....they'll never.
Born in a life of opportunity with every chance to excel
Instead took his fucking chances with the cheapest goddamn thrills
He'd do anything, he'd take anything for a moments satisfaction
Sweet seconds of pleasure could never measure,
To his agonizing life of addiction

In the dark night, he tries to remember a future so bright
"It wont happen to me,
It wont happen to me,
It wont happen to me"
That's what they always fucking say.

The man who thinks hes-above misery,
And hurt and harm and pain,
is the main who lives his life,
Tightly bound as a slave in chains.
In chains,
In chains,
In chains of a never ending abyss,
In chains of an artificial bliss.
And he lives just like a slave,
for giving his life away for nothing.
