Slave to the Riff

I'm just another fucking slave
 It's 3 AM, I should get some sleep
 Balled up notes scattered at my feet
 Chasing a feeling
 That I haven't felt since way back when
 I held the foolish hope that this would bring me peace
 It's not enough, never
 A voice insists
 I have to try to make it better
 But better's never there
 It's a ghost of a sound
 Getting farther away
 Diverged from the path
 And it led me astray
 The feeling it haunts me
 Eternally calling
 It won't let me rest
 And it won't let me forget
 I'm just a slave to the riff
 I'm just another fucking slave
 Signed and sealed in blood & sweat
 All it costs is a soul?
 I barely have one left
 I feel the sorrow cutting deeper
 And I can't resist
 Now won't you just give it to me?
 I've bled for this
 Are you sure?
 I can grant what you seek
 But you will be forever changed
 You may not like what you become...
 Very well

 Close your eyes
 Let the melody hold you for a while
 But only for a moment
