Hostile World
I sit in silence here alone
An agony I've made my own
An empty chasm in the dark
Is where I choose to hide my heart
Something that I've lived with
For so very long
I've never had an interest
In what's right or wrong
Deviant or so I'm told
Villainous or so extolled
A heightened animosity
Distorting everything I see
This world has closed its doors to me
Sat me in the balcony
Now my only recompense
A gift I've honed to mastery
Tainted eyes that strain to see
I'm not in prison but I'm never free
A curse that somehow has followed me
I'm not in prison but I'm never free
Looking out this dirty window
From inside my trophy room
Hostile world, I've been born into
Hostile world, I've been consumed
I'm the one you sat behind you
The one you've chosen to neglect
Now I've chosen to confront you
You're the wrong I must correct
I'm the one you sat behind you
The one you've chosen to neglect
Now I've chosen to confront you
You're the wrong I must correct
Tainted eyes that strain to see
I'm not in prison but I'm never free
A curse that somehow has followed me
I'm not in prison but I'm never free
Oh, never free
Oh, never free
An agony I've made my own
An empty chasm in the dark
Is where I choose to hide my heart
Something that I've lived with
For so very long
I've never had an interest
In what's right or wrong
Deviant or so I'm told
Villainous or so extolled
A heightened animosity
Distorting everything I see
This world has closed its doors to me
Sat me in the balcony
Now my only recompense
A gift I've honed to mastery
Tainted eyes that strain to see
I'm not in prison but I'm never free
A curse that somehow has followed me
I'm not in prison but I'm never free
Looking out this dirty window
From inside my trophy room
Hostile world, I've been born into
Hostile world, I've been consumed
I'm the one you sat behind you
The one you've chosen to neglect
Now I've chosen to confront you
You're the wrong I must correct
I'm the one you sat behind you
The one you've chosen to neglect
Now I've chosen to confront you
You're the wrong I must correct
Tainted eyes that strain to see
I'm not in prison but I'm never free
A curse that somehow has followed me
I'm not in prison but I'm never free
Oh, never free
Oh, never free
