Purgatory Time Machine

You swim in the ocean of my tears
in my purgatory time machine
a designer hell, that had no heaven
to replace every negative with another positive
and you could help yourselves earn this

every grain of sand placed around the one rock
i cried upon everyday i had to earn
by wishing myself away
In this hard place
god passed me by forever
a star in the sky for ever reason i discovered that i had to die

Drop by drop the oceans were collected
grain of sand by grain of sand
the beaches created with no deception
never got a turn to live the life i deserved
just rewarded for suicidal tendancies
in this purgatory time machine
punished for something you did to me
