Oh my friend, my brother, my father

I don't wanna see you suffer no more

Take my hand and

Leave this place of gore

For such a long time I have lived this role

Bitten by life, destroyed my soul

All that is left are pieces of me

And my distorted perception of reality

Sometimes I dwell on the meaning of life

What is the price of this fight?

I've lost all meaning that once had

My will is broken, my life is frozen

I see no path ahead

Oh my friend, my brother, my father

I have seen your face in my dreams

I was the witness of your suffering

And all I could do to set you free

Was to listen to you in your time of need

I buried my pain under jargon

And invent a language to hide my deceit

Every day struggle, a devil's bargain

Only one fooled in this game is me

Oh my friend, my brother, my father

I'm sorry I interfered with your dreams

I didn't realize mine will suffer the most
