Soul-Sick Nation

Words of reason elude fragile minds
 The embrace of pain offers indemnity
 The knowing victim self-prophesied
 A life wrought from their own misery
 ♪
 A soul-sick nation
 Of children lost and never found
 A soul-sick nation
 Is burning to the fucking ground
 Wherever we go wherever we live
 We're haunted by our past
 Our war-like minds in times of peace are agony
 We want to move on we want to forgive
 And take the higher path
 But madness kills tranquility

 A soul-sick nation
 Of children lost and never found
 A soul-sick nation
 Is burning to the fucking ground
 The ones that exists to defeat us
 Are demons that feast on the meek
 They whisper their words from within us
 To end it all
 These voices inside that could free us
 Live in uneasy harmony
 They fight to destroy or uplift us
 Which will you follow now?
 Wherever we go wherever we live
 We're haunted by our past
 Our war-like minds in times of peace are agony
 We want to move on we want to forgive
 And take the higher path

 Horrified by a wretched life of stagnation
 We slowly doom ourselves to walk the earth alone
 Selfish act of sickening desperation
 Start anew; subdue the pain that's never gone
 Rewrite the past; provide your justification
 Self-medicate until we are numb
 Salt the wounds of petty condemnations
 Never own the fact of what we have done
 Can we save ourselves
 From a life of torment?
 A vicious circle with no end to come
 Masochistic acts
 Hinder our fulfillment
 Thwarts the will and our hope to move on
 Horrified by a wretched life of stagnation
 We slowly doom ourselves to walk the earth alone

 A vicious circle with no end to come
 Masochistic acts

 Thwarts the will and our hope to move on
 Keep running further and further away from the demons you hide
 Your shadow will follow you
 Pick up the pieces of your shattered fragile mind
 The shards you conceal still remain broken
