lyrics

A hollow man in a shallow world
The novelty of anonymity long faded
Searching for the last good thing he remembers
So obsessed with an ideal existence
That the slightest imperfection is catastrophic

Through the perpetual night
So far from where he started, and racing towards the end
Disappointment awaits him again

The deepest cut elicits a cry
From the deeper layers of past lives
Neglected by design, forsaken by time
Awaiting an imminent demise
Unshackled, shooting towards the sky where freedom lies
Left to perish in the cruel light of day
All that's left is a vessel to decay

Let the numbness take over
Or take pleasure from the pain
Misled by the promise of another day
Victimized by the passage of time
So slowly comes this afterlife paradise
Different paths lead to different fates
Which path to take?

Left to perish in the cruel light of day
All that's left is a life in decay
The deepest cut elicits a cry
From the deeper layers of past lives
Neglected by design, forsaken by time
Awaiting an imminent demise
Unshackled, shooting towards the sky where freedom lies 

Who cares where the blame lies?
There's no glory in living -- the deified die young
The nature of existence is its inevitable end
Let them die -- eternity is where peace resides
