Happens just the same
Serve to me most eloquent
A soul of morbid taste
Reach beyond the evident
My tortured pool of waste
Find the urge to desecrate
Deeper now than most
Within these lies incorporate
A subject for my host
Complicate my bitter source
Remind me of the end
Prepare for me a solemn force
How poorly I defend
So fascinate my broken soul
Come lead me to resolve
All these worlds that I control
My failures must involve
Behold my worth of self despise
My wounded wealth of shame
The scene that disobeys my eyes
Happens just the same
