The sorrow weighs in my soul
Black as coal, burning a hole
Through me, me, me, numb
The music won’t come

I feel no sound, in me, no more
Just death, grief, pain, anger
Anger most of all
Inner rage, anxiety in me
The pressure of a champagne bottle
But the contents of a viper

Choke, choke, choke
Heed me that I may not go astray
The night leads the way to my peace
But the day blinds the path to joy
Every one that passes by sends me further down
Deeper in this abyss I am doomed to know

Unqualified, the patterns make no sense
Yet the mystery is clear to me
I can see everything bleeding out of me
I just can’t understand or know it
It just bleeds, bleeds, bleeds on my grave

I feel at peace when I am at rest
For living took my life away
They took my life away
I want it
I need it back
The rage will bitter and consume me

There is no hope for me
Just damnation
I am the lost black sheep
The thorn on a side who was torn from his stem
I belong nowhere, in nothing
And nothing belongs in me

Mercy, in what?
Sorrow is all I have
Rage, rage, rage, I feel cruel
Black, dark in me
I hate it all, all of it

Cure me, oh symphony
Teach me thy ways
That I may not fall apart again
That I may stitch myself together
And scar for good
Help me forget it all
Everything please
Sweet symphony
