Chorus for the Deaf

A thousand words, a thousand cries, a thousand times I hear your lies
Your dark disguise your deep, lost eyes, your soul gave birth to my demise

I hear the call, I know your need, I give, you take, your wretched feed
But I digress, I want it less, clawing, bleeding, digging out this mess
This wreck, this ice, this coal, this steel, these veins, this heart that makes me feel

Deep down I dig, deep down I shred, these dark, dark dreams inside my head,
but down and down I pave my way, I try stop all of this decay,
you cuss you curse you spit my name, I bear no witness, I feel no shame
You know my weakness, or so you claim, but I won't play this fucking game

Now all is quiet, you had your say, your chorus fades, my blood, your prey...
your tragic love, your life dismay, a hundred reasons I should stay

RAIN down your problems, rain down your tears, tell me all your hidden fears,
your evil way, your mortal play ... a hundred reasons you can stay away.
