Reality irrelevant
Enough to drop an elephant
No longer takes my head into the clouds
I\'ve drunk the bar dry several times
Committed truly vulgar crimes
Filled shallow graves with made to measure shrouds
Built tolerance is in control
I can\'t escape my guilty soul
So scratch at every sin with sharpened claw
Nightmares replacing fairytales
The blood under my fingernails
Would not be there had you not smashed my jaw
The remnants of a man who broke
Shadow dance with the plumes of smoke
Emerging from the latest funeral pyre
I try to find at any cost
The place I was when I got lost
The spark that could have started such a fire
My dreams are all returned to ash
A heart of glass\'s sickening smash
Signals the end of unrelenting pain
If I was granted one more chance
Back to the wall I\'d take my stance
And probably do the same things yet again
