My Acid Words (live at the Zeche Bochum, Germany, October 11th, 2006)

So prepare for a lesson
A lesson in my acid words

Death and suffering all around me
No escape, so why go on?
When no one cares, no one's there
You die inside before you're gone
I've tried to reach the highest point of vision
My dreams appear fulfilled

But held before my eyes
It is a vision that now lies
Forever searching for the purpose
Are we running out of time?

Waiting while the acid words are feeding
Watching as your will's deteriorating

When I'm dead, will you remember
All the things I've tried to say?
This cancer inside of me destroying my life
When I rot in the ground, will you care?

The sands of time are pointless in a useless, ugly world
Nothing brings peace of mind
I leave nothing behind
If my words are left unheard

Waiting while the acid words are feeding
Watching as your will's deteriorating

And I've learned to watch the downgrade
And I've learned to follow the eyes behind me
Through the twisting, hollow, strange roads
To the apex of our fate, so cold

And I hate the way you look at me
With your frozen, soulless eyes
Deny it, ignore it, and cover it in shame
In your arrogant, nameless void

Waiting while the acid words are feeding
Watching as your will's deteriorating

It's a one-way ride and there's nothing you can do
Not even suicide or my acid words can teach you
Anything useful
