What Price

Picture yourself in a river drowning inside your heart Finding there is no tomorrow only this place that you are That you are alone in your darkness let your spirit go When judgment comes it’ll lay by the side of the road By the road Leaving all the worlds behind it seems so vain to me Think ‘bout the past I only see my broken youth Locked inside a world where only liars seem to live Not a chance for happiness His mother’s checkered past Psychologically induced by all the things he’d seen What the hell is going on inside (Thou shall not give unto life without love) What price for life (For ye shall open the scar of the wound) What price for truth (Thou shall not take from the weaker mankind) What price for youth (Fate begets sorrow the trail of doom) I can see the visions it’s emitting from you mind Dig another grave so I can bury you alive Like a poison ocean that’s been running through the rye What the hell is going on inside (Thou shall not give unto life without love) What price for life (For ye shall open the scar of the wound) What price for truth (Thou shall not take from the weaker mankind) What price for youth (Fate begets sorrow the trail of doom) (Schizophrenic symptoms of a problem in your past) (Handed down to newborn generations to be cast) (Take your friend’s emotions and dissolve it with a lie) (Put your plague to rest when you fall down and fucking die) And the mother cried... And the child cried... And the father replied... I guess I went too far I guess I went too far I guess I went too far I guess I went too far Then he heard a voice and it said “Now it’s time to go... Your soul is getting cold... I’m gonna leave your spirit dead by the side of the road” Still the child cried On and on And then the voice was gone and everyone smiled
