Something's missing from my spirit
So I shrink inside myself
And dream of nostalgic days
Times that will never be had again
I'm haunted by my own mind
There's nothing to relieve this ache
Used to drown in deep ponds of poison
And now I wallow in my shallow existence
Full of broken dreams and empty promises
It's the same as it ever was, void and endless
Life beats my spirit down
But something inside won't let it die
Kill me or love me
Don't just walk on by
Life beats my spirit down
But something inside won't let it die
Kill me or love me
Don't just walk on by
Can't stand to be another jaded one
Spiritual death, zombies aren't fiction
Pain makes us eat each other alive
I may as well be the king of the cynics
My caustic words will turn you out
This is what we've become
I'd rather be a plant!
Wish I could go down in a rock and roll fashion
But reality's got me in its grip
May not become everything I want to
But at least I can do this shit
Life beats my spirit down
But something inside won't let it die
Kill me or love me
Don't just walk on by
Life beats my spirit down
But something inside won't let it die
Kill me or love me
Don't just walk on by
I work a dead end job, and I feel useless
I do my best, but I'm still underpaid and undervalued
I'll be playing music till I die
Nothing else in this world means as much to me
