I searched for what I was missing
Discovered something else instead
It certainly filled the hole inside
Filled me up with lead

Now I've adapted different versions
Of the face I wear each day
It's hard to tell the truth apart
From the broken lies I say

Tried to **** the sadness
Looking for a cure
But I murdered more than intended
Which parts I am not sure

Past lingered like cheap perfume
I couldn't stand the smell
So I doused myself in gasoline
It seems it burned a little too well

Have I overdone it?
Invading every pore
Every cell in my body rearranged
At least Im not like I was before
I cut off too much of myself and now I'm more incomplete than ever

Love is an invading apocalypse
From all four directions
Deteriorating the soul of life
Fire falling from the sky
A serpent who swallow heart
Eating away the entire existence
For the innocent animosity of a lost soul.

If living here is really so bad for you
then maybe you should just go
on a holiday, far away,
so you can see just how bad it is
how bad it is

But I, I believe, you'll feel the wind of home come invading through your window
wherever your heart takes you
And in return you'll come back after no end to pestering
I do believe you'll feel the wind of home

— The End —
