Closing your eyes to the truth that surrounds you
Won't make life easy to take
Filling your heart with the hate that inflames you
Just makes it burn out and break
Want someone to love you? Want someone to care?
But you're building walls of plaster, building walls of bone
Now there's nowhere left to hide
Waiting all time for a soul to embrace you
Just makes you lonely and old
Turning your back on the lover who needs you
Turns the world slowly and cold
Want someone to love you? Want someone to care?
But you're living off disaster, living on your own
While everyone's taking their sides
No better than hell, no
The way that you feel
No better than hell, no
The way that you live
Want someone to love you? Want someone to care?
But you're burning all your bridges, burning down your home
Burning the wax at both ends
No, no better than hell
