lyrics

The straps are bound to keep you tight in place
The gleam of the clean steel before the cutting begins
Blade slips into flesh accented by your screams
Why would I kill you when I can keep you alive

Another bleak day begins for me again
The endless mediocrity week after week
A soulless dawn, another meaningless night
Was there something I pretended that I want

Desperation is the sickest kind of hope
Bound in life to a game you’re born to lose
The only solace you never had
To grow old and feeble and die

The call of possession keeping competition strong
Climb up the ladder on the corpses of your peers
And when you reach that final summit of gain
The stranglehold around your throat will begin to choke

The voices won’t stop calling my name
I’ve got nothing left for them to take
My life before me stretches into eternity
What I so wanted has put me here in hell

Desperation is the sickest kind of hope
Bound in life to a game you’re born to lose
The only solace you never had
To grow old and feeble and die
