CARRION WAY
O Mother, O Father
I'm shackled to this burden
Weighing heavy on me
Thorns around me are burning
The soil is caving in
Beneath my feet
And my walls are coming up
Tell myself
That this hell
Is temporary
Can't help but to hold onto hope again
I wish I could live another's skin
Insane - every choice ends in tragedy
TRAVESTY
The pain - experience new agony
O Sisters, O Brother
I hate to be a failure
Just another lost cause
The days are growing paler
This vessel is broken
And weeping blood
Bones lay shattered in this flesh
Tell myself
That this hell
Is temporary
Do not tell me that it's everlasting
Drain me empty and leave me with nothing
Insane - every choice ends in tragedy
TRAVESTY
The pain - experience new agony
AGONY
I cannot stop this feeling
Of ominous doom
In vain - hungry vultures are circling
CIRCLING
Insane - believe it's the carrion way
CARRION WAY
way to the grave
If I were to leave a note
Before the swinging rope
It would say
"I love you all
But I'm ready to go"
Tell myself
That this hell
Is temporary
Insane - every choice ends in tragedy
TRAVESTY
The pain - experience new agony
AGONY
I cannot stop this feeling
Of ominous doom
In vain - hungry vultures are circling
CIRCLING
Insane - believe it's the carrion way
