I can’t stop
Being what I’m not
Though my soul may rot
It’s easier this way

I try to find
My peace of mind
Through eyes made blind
Am I evil? Who’s to say?

I see you walking in the park
I blend right in, we’re in the dark
You come to me in innocence
I come for you fast as a shark

Death may triumph
This life I’m in
Roots run deep
In the scourge

I can’t stop
Being what I’m not
Though my soul may rot
It’s easier this way

I try to find
My peace of mind
Through eyes made blind
Am I evil? Who’s to say?

I had my chance when we were young
You chose the church
I chose the fun
We went our own ways
And now we meet again, don’t run

Away from me
You can’t get free
Roots run deep
In the scourge of sin

I lost my way
Didn’t want to be found
A vicious cycle
Spinning round and around
And now there’s no hope
For getting me straight
Can’t live for love
I only live to hate

And now you’re choking in my grip
I tied the knot, won’t let it slip
Put out the flame
Yes, I’m insane

Death may triumph
This life I’m in
Roots run deep
In the scourge

I can’t stop
Being what I’m not
Though my soul may rot
It’s easier this way

I try to find
My peace of mind
Through eyes made blind
Am I evil? Who’s to say?
