One More Time

One More Time The decay of my spirit Has left my bedroom in a foul odor And I sit in my chair Watching the outside world A world full of happiness and delight How could I fit in there The shadows of my past Continue to haunt my present As I become lifeless My heart rests on my desk A dagger pierces the heart at the middle But there is no flowing blood To live without a heart To thrive without a spirit To exist without a soul I have come to accept this And this eternal punishment I've earned I don't expect any pity A picture is taped to my chest It could be a woman or perhaps a demon I will never truly know This picture grieves me more Than any dagger through my heart I am haunted And as I watch the world move on I remain trapped in a past that doesn't exist I can't see beyond the mist To see people smiling on the outside And to be lost on the inside empty and broken I am a million miles away To live without a heart To thrive without a spirit To exist without a soul I watch the world outside A world full of happiness and delight I could never fit in there
