Slave to the Riff
I'm just another fucking slave
It's 3 AM, I should get some sleep
Balled up notes scattered at my feet
Chasing a feeling
That I haven't felt since way back when
I held the foolish hope that this would bring me peace
It's not enough, never
A voice insists
I have to try to make it better
But better's never there
It's a ghost of a sound
Getting farther away
Diverged from the path
And it led me astray
The feeling it haunts me
Eternally calling
It won't let me rest
And it won't let me forget
I'm just a slave to the riff
I'm just another fucking slave
Signed and sealed in blood & sweat
All it costs is a soul?
I barely have one left
I feel the sorrow cutting deeper
And I can't resist
Now won't you just give it to me?
I've bled for this
Are you sure?
I can grant what you seek
But you will be forever changed
You may not like what you become...
Very well
The feeling it haunts me
Eternally calling
It won't let me rest
And it won't let me forget
I'm just another fucking slave
I'm just a slave to the riff
Close your eyes
Let the melody hold you for a while
But only for a moment
It's 3 AM, I should get some sleep
Balled up notes scattered at my feet
Chasing a feeling
That I haven't felt since way back when
I held the foolish hope that this would bring me peace
It's not enough, never
A voice insists
I have to try to make it better
But better's never there
It's a ghost of a sound
Getting farther away
Diverged from the path
And it led me astray
The feeling it haunts me
Eternally calling
It won't let me rest
And it won't let me forget
I'm just a slave to the riff
I'm just another fucking slave
Signed and sealed in blood & sweat
All it costs is a soul?
I barely have one left
I feel the sorrow cutting deeper
And I can't resist
Now won't you just give it to me?
I've bled for this
Are you sure?
I can grant what you seek
But you will be forever changed
You may not like what you become...
Very well
The feeling it haunts me
Eternally calling
It won't let me rest
And it won't let me forget
I'm just another fucking slave
I'm just a slave to the riff
Close your eyes
Let the melody hold you for a while
But only for a moment
