I don't belong here, but there's something makes me stay
Lost and abandoned, never seemed to find my way
Them bloody knees ain't worth it,
Ain't nothing in this life gonna make me pray
The sun and moon have turned to black,
My blood was red but now it runs steel grey
Can't shake this feeling,
That I'm guilty of a crime
Just what it is I couldn't say,
But I feel I've already done the time
A life of self-made solitude has left me with no need for the divine
My mind is dark, my heart is cold,
And I won't waste time following the blind
I feel the fire burning me alive beneath my breath
I fix my gaze up on sky and see the face of Death
I yearn and beg for his release but he won't come for me
Here I am a prisoner of my slow mortality
Can't say I'm angry, too filled with emptiness to hate
Won't look to heaven, nothing for me behind those gates
A man with no direction who realized his broken dreams too late
I turn to face the void I've made,
And with a burdened soul accept this fate
I feel the fire burning me alive beneath my breath
I fix my gaze up on sky and see the face of Death
I yearn and beg for his release but he won't come for me
Here I am a prisoner of my slow
I feel that flame still burning me alive behind my eyes
I look for Death and see his face in every disguise
I scream to him for my release,
Why won't he set me free
I'm destined as a prisoner of my slow mortality
