A streaming sense forms a downward spiral
Receding flood gives birth to another tide
A new ambition to mend our guilt and shame
While we step forward and sleepwalk back again

Another sleepless night
Shadows form and haunt my mind
I gasp for breath
I feel so cold, leave me alone

My inferior life is torn
Torn into pieces
The path that I've chosen
The man that I swore not to be
Is what I see in my own reflection

Nothing's different since yesterday
Still not a man but property
The liberated call me devil's creation
A disgrace in the eye of god

They make me plead for mercy then whip me again
They lure me with false pretensions 'til I'm driven mad

Frail but yet relentless
Convinced once more to fall on my knees
