1. Rotten
If you cared to look inside of me
What would you find?
Would you understand the distorted sound,
the dead of time?
I'm made of memories,
I'm trembling, I'm mud,
the madman, the artist
the coldness, the blood
I am passion
I have been many times
I'm forever
I'm dead
Me-The moment the hero feels he's lost
The moment the candle fades out
The tear when love dies
The essence, the hope, the doubt
Me-The true rotting Christ
god of artificial light
lord of all low life
king and his might
I'm always behind you, an angel
I make you shiver, I'm wind
2. Inconsistent
Words play in my mind
drawing near, they fuse, they divorce
way stronger than me
plane come and go
Life's the circle, the spiral;
whenerverbit takes hold of me
I let my self fall, taking my time
I leave all that is real
There is a world that demands
outside of my flesh and bones cell
a recluse by free will
I rather live my own private hall
Leave you their problems as a legacy
we all stink of yesterdays
your rutine to die in peace:
create, urinate, defecate.
To be what it should not be,
human nature is so bizarre
who says I've got to keep on keeping on
When I can laught a jar.
Rather play and plan nothing,
sit here, saciate my vanity
3. In This Cold Cell
Now my days are just to remember
the happy I wanted to be
many things happened to me
but now I just have time to remember
sitting in this cell corner
beside this rusty metalic door
that just opens once in a time
sitting in this cell corner
were I can hear my thoughs voice
and some sounds of my memories
sitting in this cell corner
still wondering if it was worth the shame
the cause why I'm here
if I can just know that is some body outside
fighting like I did
Then I would not be unhappy in this cold cell
