This Riddle

another day of lies
can’t escape life
it’ll track you down
till the end of time
face down in shit
a shell of a man
can’t break the spell
that surrounds me

war in my head
will never cease
until i’m dead
there’s no release

weeks turn to years
each second cuts
bleeding you dry
bathing in anger
hard luck bastard
feeding on pain
demon laced tonic
that’s drowning me

war in my head
will never cease
until i’m dead
there’s no release

can’t fix this enigma
no solving the riddle
beyond repair
twisted figure
yeah.. i’m an enigma
trapped in this riddle

decades of despair
clinging to hope
only to be stripped
and sucked away
digging my own grave
hands on job
shoveling the truth
since 1975

war in my head
will never cease
until i’m dead
there’s no release

can’t fix this enigma
no solving the riddle
beyond repair
twisted figure
yeah.. i’m and enigma
trapped in this riddle
