Reaching out for something you've got to feel. While clutching to what you had thought was real. . Kicking at a dead horse pleases you. No way of showing your gratitude.
Suspicion is your name. Your honesty to blame. Put dignity to shame. Dishonor. Witchhunt, modern day. Determining decay. The blatant disarray. Disfigure.
Hey (hey). I'm your life. I'm the one who takes you there. Hey (hey). I'm your life. I'm the one who cares. They (they). They betray. I'm your only true friend now.
Story starts. Quiet town. Small town boy. Big time frown. . Never talks. Never plays. Different path. Lost his way. . The streets are red. Red I'm afraid.
Oh poor twisted me. Oh poor twisted me. I feast on sympathy. I chew on suffer. I chew on agony. . And swallow whole the pain. Oh it's too good to be. All this misery.
And now I wait my whole lifetime. For you. And now I wait my whole lifetime. For you. . I ride the dirt, I ride the tide. For you. I search the outside, search inside.
And it feels right this time. On his crash course with the big time. Pay no mind to the distant thunder. New day fills his head with wonder, boy. . Says it feels right this time.
Spineless from the start, sucked into the part. Circus comes to town, you play the lead clown. Please, please. Spreading his disease, living by his story.
No more!. The crap rolls out your mouth again. Haven't changed, your brain is still gelatine. Little whispers circle around your head. Why don't you worry about yourself instead.
My life suffocates. Planting seeds of hate. I've loved, turned to hate. Trapped far beyond my fate. . I give, you take. This life that I forsake. Been cheated of my youth.
Don't tread on me. So don't tread on me. . Liberty or death, what we so proudly hail. Once you provoke her, rattling of her tail. Never begins it, never, but once engaged....
The man takes another bullet. He keeps them all within. He must seek, no matter how it hurts. So don't fool again. . He thinks the answer's cold and his hand.
Lashing out the action. Returning a reaction. Weak are ripped and torn away. Hypnotizing power. . Crushing all that cower. Battery is here to stay. Smashing through the boundaries.
Outta my way. Outta my day. Out of your mind and into mine. Into no one. Into not one. Into your step but out of time. . Headstrong. What's wrong?. I've already heard this song before.
And the road becomes my bride. And the road becomes my bride. I have stripped of all but pride, so in her I do confide. And she keeps me satisfied, gives me all I need.
Where do I take this pain of mine?. I run but it stays right by my side. . So tear me open, pour me out!. There's things inside that scream and shout.
Where do I take this pain of mine?. I run but it stays right by my side. . So tear me open and pour me out. There's things inside that scream and shout.

Lashing out the action, returning the reaction. Weak are ripped and torn away. Hypnotizing power, crushing all that cower. Battery is here to stay. . Smashing through the boundaries, lunacy has found me.
So close no matter how far. Couldn't be much more from the heart. Forever trusting who we are. And nothing else matters. . Never opened myself this way.
