I've been suckling for far too long I've been slowly letting the fires die down I've been smashed and broken, i must pick myself together if i have the will--if i can find it still (x2) Oh, i'll make the same mistake and make it three times more I don't ask for permission, most only for forgiveness And i would make amends, but i am such a chore And in my defense i've been shattered on the floor but i am just a man, whom do i answer for? And you'll catch me playing with myself in the corner I am lost now, i have been mourning my own self Just put me in the ground cuz oh, i've been dead--i've been dead awhile now Oh, i'll make the same mistake and make it three times more I don't ask for permission, most only for forgiveness And i would make amends, but i am such a chore And in my defense i've been shattered on the floor But i am just a man, whom do i answer for? My face has grown old, my face has grown cold i'm sick to the stomach and i made it so My mind has grown old, my body's necrosed My muscles are atrophied and i made it so My heart has grown cold, my heart has old I am a monster and i made it so
