Lyrics for I

Even innocence cannot avoid decay We were promised everything, take it all away To resurrect what was left to die Fragments of failure filling hollow space I will depart My heart beats negative As the body burns, high on deception Waking from a nightmare half empty Obsession with the final thrill I will depart And all is nothing Rotting away Possession of the flesh I face my failures Emptiness eternal Hollow words, going nowhere Awaken, shivering cold Going nowhere, shivering cold Going nowhere Higher, higher, forever Searching the night, cold nights A starving child A beaten dog Stained glass reflections or bad memories I will depart The hypocritical hope lights up your eyes Obsession is not far from sorrow Awaken, shivering cold Hollow words, going nowhere Obsession with the final thrill
