My Personal Hell

Are there still pictures hanging up on a hook
In a room with a candle and a bed that once shook

Are there wrappers of beauty preventing a birth 
Covering the floor with the sin of the earth

I'm sorry I'm the man that broke my heart
By taking the beauty away from the art

I am my own sin, I dwell in it well
Welcome to the world, my personal hell
