One brief recollection of all thepeople in my life that havecome and gone
One brief fleeting moment ofpeople 
I've loved and people that
I have wronged
Long lost are loved ones gonebut this bird cannot seem tomend it's broken wings so the
Lust for life dissipated anda new greed rises for theneedful things.
Don't wanna think about it, 
IIndulge myself,distraction eases pain, bury my
Emotions to protect myself.till 
I can't feel a fucking thing
I've dared to dream 
I've triedto live,but 
I've played it safe again
Just another slave to my vices now,
Bring out your dead
Voices wither and crack then dieringin' in my ear would sing mesoft asleep
Deathly silence now is all 
I hearhas inspiration finally eluded me
My addiction, my illness, my onlytrusted friend
My addiction my illness my onlychildhood fiend.
Your twisted warm embraceengulfing all 
I tried to be
My body's breaking underarms that will not set me free
Locked in this cage that 
I'vebuilt myselfconstructed out of twisted coldreminders of a life once lost
But I've found my way again.
Here among the wreckage and thevampires
I'll play it safe again,just another slave to my vices now.
