Standing on the corner of a sullen street at night

Glimpsing shadows hardly moving in the calm beyond the light

Thinking to myself why am I here and what have I become

That I'm possessed wander nightly losing what I've won

Each step I take towards progress

Ends in nothing but duress

Each step i take towards progress

Ends in naught but deep distress

Closer every day I am to what I'd never dream

Each glass takes me away before my thoughts have time to scream

I'm flooded with this new minds strength brutal animalistic fire

Black fog flies down and I'm drawn under by this senseless seething ire

This man inside of me is longing

Nothing but simple belonging

Man inside of me your longing

Nothing but your pain prolonging

Waking to the dawns grey glow and watching sunrise paint the sky

Wondering what transpired last night what, in effect, am I?

So close am I to sweet sucess a drop of wine upon my lips

Of salt and iron, warm and wet, left from the nights last deadly kiss
