Wasted Apologies

Lights out for the children of damnation, crawling on all fours
Flat line for the deranged and complacent, so you know what's in store
No prayer is strong enough to slow down the heartache heading for you
Nothing less than a total mental breakdown is heading for you
It's heading for you

I will be coming, and I'm faster than you know
You won't see me coming until you're lying face down In your wasted apologies
Until the lights go out
Until the monkeys off your back
You may see it coming but there's nothing you can do
Cause your head has been paralyzed

White lines on the mirror of the psyche dripping down your throat
Paralyzed by head monsters, your creation
Nothing left but hope
No prayer is strong enough to slow down the heartache heading for you
Nothing less than a total mental breakdown is heading for you
It's heading for you

I will be coming, and I'm faster than you know
You won't see me coming until you're lying face down In your wasted apologies
Until the lights go out
Until the monkeys off your back
You may see it coming but there's nothing you can do
Cause your head has been paralyzed

When you're standing at the edge of the world holding your life in your hands
There's nothing you can do but jump off the edge of the cliff
And see if you bounce back like a man
Or fall to your death like so many before you have done
If you wanna play the game, then play it
But be warned... not many make the finish line alive
And that's a fact... Jack

When all our vices fade away
Leave us standing naked and gray
Lost in silence for so long
Fear is a prison
And your time has come
It's a war of attrition...
A war of attrition...

I will be coming, and I'm faster than you know
You won't see me coming until you're lying face down In your wasted apologies
Until the lights go out
Until the monkeys off your back
You may see it coming but there's nothing you can do
Cause your head has been paralyzed
