[Verse 1]

The thoughts from my mind

Command my lips, say, "I hate you"

The thoughts from my mind

Command my hands to cut your silken flesh

The thoughts from my mind

Command my feet to stomp your head

The thoughts from my mind have one question

When will this ever end?


[Chorus]

Not much to the life I live

Same four walls

I have nothing left to give

Please take it all away

Same four walls


[Verse 2]

The thoughts from my mind

Feel the pain as rats claw at my flesh

The thoughts from my mind

Feels the joy as the needle hits my vein

The thoughts from my mind

Smell the stench as shit runs down my leg

The thoughts from my mind ask for sanity

Now for this I beg


[Chorus]

Not much to this life I live

Same four walls

I have nothing left to give

Please take it all away

Same four walls

Same four walls


[Bridge]

My mind is like today, damp dark dreary

As the rain falls outside beating

Though it hits the ground

I can feel it slipping away

Dying without decay

Dying like my soul

From the inside out

I can only pray

It won't be long

It won't be long now

It can't be long

It can't be long now, help me

(Where do I go from here?)


[Verse 1]

The thoughts from my mind

Command my lips, say, "I hate you"

The thoughts from my mind

Command my hands to cut your silken flesh

The thoughts from my mind

Command my feet to stomp your head

The thoughts from my mind have one question

When will I be dead?


[Chorus]

This is the life I have to live

Same four walls

I have nothing left to give

Please take it all away

This is the life I have to live

Same four walls

I have nothing left to give

Please take it all away

Same four walls

Same four walls

Same four walls

Same four walls


[Outro]

There's nothing left for me
