Like the virus in my veins A broken window pane Jaws are locked into place Mingled cup thrown in my face I live in a house of clay Violated and dismayed I don't want to be a dream In somebody else's sleep It is only when I'm left alone That I pervert what is sown Blood and skin beneath my nails Reflects the emptiness of hell It is only when I'm left alone That I pervert what is sown Blood and skin beneath my nails Then I squirm in my bed Pull the sheets around my head Soaking wet in a pool of sweat Pray for me, I'm not dead It is only when I'm left alone That I pervert what is sown Blood and skin beneath my nails Reflects the emptiness of hell It is only when I'm left alone That I pervert what is sown Blood and skin beneath my nails Take me out with the garbage And don't you compromise 'Cause that's all we really are Until we confess the lie It is only when I'm left alone That I pervert what is sown Blood and skin beneath my nails Reflects the emptiness of hell It is only when I'm left alone That I pervert what is sown Blood and skin beneath my nails
