  • The venom inside.
    Turned me into the enemy
    Turned into what I hate
    My apathy got the best of me
    Blood boiled and lost my way

    I never thought I'd be the one to blame
    Have to live with constant shame
    Everything that I put inside
    Just to feel numb

    I tried to escape
    Push it away
    Tried to hide
    The venom inside

    This was nothing but moral abuse
    Guess I just needed something new
    What could I gain from solitude?
    Or acting like a fool?

    I tried to escape
    Push it away
    Tried to hide
    The venom inside

    I tried to escape
    Push it away
    Tried to hide
    The venom inside

    Disconnected, Apathetic
    It's so pathetic to be this frantic
    I needed help! I needed help!
    Like methadone for an addict

    I tried to escape
    Push it away
    Tried to hide

  • Mike from Denver, Coif you put all the tracks in order, they make sense...

    *the venom inside* is *frozen in time*, but its *coming alive*, it's one of *the secrets of the dead*. *the disappearing sun* means your *impending doom* is coming. *on broken glass* we will *destroy and dominate*...but *try to survive*, *the heart of it all*
