Lightning strikes inside my head
The clouds are where i make my bed
In my head's where the storms begin
I can only pray they'll someday end

I have suppressed all of my tears
While I'm oppressed by all my fears
Walking alone with no destination
Wondering how someone could love this creation

I can't see any stars
I'm stuck in a haze
Filled with confusion
My minds in a daze
Living this nightmare
With no hope in sight
Lost in a tunnel
With no guiding light

...and the lightning strikes
Like you pound the spikes
In my head
Like the pouring rain
That's drowning my brain
Yeah, I'm better off dead

I saw my friend the other day
He sold himself to the ARMY
I watched him as he walked away
Preparing to **** in a foreign country

We ran endlessly in circles
You always left me in the dark
Somewhere, sometime, somehow i happened
What the **** happened to the spark

I have no friends to call my own
Everything changes too **** fast
In the end i stand alone
I guess relationships aren't built to last

Everything just disappears
The friends that stood by my side
Are no longer here
They fade away
Fade away
Fade
Away

Radiation shrouds the world
Rotting bodies cover the ground
Cockroaches have taken over
There's no one left around

There's fire in the air
Bombs are falling from the sky
There's no way to escape this
Worldwide genocide

Famine and disease have struck again
Bacteria's flowing through your veins
Try to fight the sickness
While is rotting out your brain

When the sirens cried out
That's all you could hear
Feel a chill in the air
You're stricken with fear
When the sirens stopped screaming
They don't make  a sound
Take a look around
There's no life to be found


There's fire in the air
Bombs are falling from the sky
There's no way to escape this
Worldwide genocide

What is it I have done?
This never-ending torment's just begun
There's always a tear in these cold empty eyes

Everyday it's always the same
Same place, same person, with a different name
Like a statue I'm paralyzed

I relive memories from long ago
If i knew then now what i know
I'd still be singing this same old song

I saw it coming much too soon
This self-destruction and impending doom
It was already lost and gone

That old familiar sting
That old familiar friend
Comes back again
That old familiar sickness
That old familiar friend
Everything came crashing to an end

The problems piled into mounds
The weight just pushed me down
It became too much

Through me the wind keeps blowing
The thing that used to keep me going
Are now empty to the touch

I face repercussions
From the ****** decisions that i made
Because the beaten path
I've always strayed
I face rejection
From what I love most
I face rejection
Now i'm just a ghost

Trapped in a hellstorm
Inside a torture chamber
Trying to extinguish
All the burning embers
Wax melts under
The candles burning flame
Dripping, hitting the ground
Like molten rain
Spin the chamber
I'm punching through the walls
Pull the trigger
Everyone's standing while I fall
And we all will drop dead
Pushing up daisies and the worms will be fed
And we all will drop dead
The rats will build nests inside of our empty heads

I don't want any of this
Nothing more, Nothing less

The dead parade the city streets
I'm now ready to admit defeat

I just want a place to rest
Nothing more, nothing less

The human mind is a breeding ground
To the senseless chaos that's all around
There's got to be a way to destroy this machine
I can destroy anything, I can destroy me

I'll join the rest
Walk in death
I'll roam the streets with the rest
I'll march among the best

It's always halloween here
It's a lifeless community
Except there's no costumes, no masks
No tricks, no treats

Death is peace
Death is tranquility
Death is calm
Death is serenity

This is what i want
Nothing more, Nothing less

How long must I stand alone in this field of exclusion?
How long must I stand alone in this field of disillusion?
I see a mirage, a desert oasis
It's just a mirage and i know i can't escape this

Laying in the trenches dug only three feet deep
Lie the decaying corpses of the ignorant and the weak
Try all I may but i can't escape the stench
I see there bodies deteriorate as maggots consume their flesh

There's no life to be seen in this barren wasteland
Plant your seeds of life and love, plant all you can
Because in this field we call the Dead Mans Grove
You can plant all you want but nothing will grow

How long must I stand alone in this field of exclusion?
How long must I stand alone in this field of disillusion?
I feel a cold deathly wind blow through my bones
As I stare at this ghastly land that many call home
