Monkey see, monkey do,
I see the ghosts in you
Hear no evil, see no evil,
the evil speaks through you
Feel the pain course through your body.
Hear the whispered lies in your head
Never see the true meaning of life.
Always wearing the mask of the dead
Hiding in the past you try to hide
you will find the answer to the grave
Carve your name upon the stone,
mark the days you try to save
Lying in a pool of your drained thoughts
drowning in the sorrow's cold
Waiting for the end to begin
forgetting the shame forever told
Understand the dreams of tomorrow
to figure out what yesterday meant
Escape the darkness of the soul
to travel the roads your mind went
Seeing forever in your tiny spectrum
of your meaningless revelation
Thinking you are a god in your
pathetic wasteland creation
Prophesize your beginning in the turmoil of life
ending years of your endless confusion
Wandering roads lead you to nothing
showing you the roots of your mindless delusion
Forever is so short when time never starts
the countdown of a lifeless decade of eternity
Living to love a warped sense of humor
when the blood runs hot in a broken reality
Traveling south at speeds never imagined
only to find yourself at the start of it all
Forgiving time for the cruel tricks of its trade
turning black into gray as you begin your fall
You want to forget everything but the mind is stubborn
nothing goes your way except the hatred you conceal
Living a life that means nothing to you when you die
numb from the experience your ghosts never let you feel
