lyrics

The times you weren't there and weren't around to see
The bit by bit that was slowly killing me
So to cope I had a fix, a cigarette or pill
Or anything to keep the maddening voices still

CHORUS:

I can't hide from shame or feeling dumb and lame
So I just pretend I'm fluent in the game
I starve the inner child to feed the inner beast
Shame is the blood served at my feast

I bled a thousand drips til' it ran between my feet
But you had long since been well in retreat
I pumped the heart with blood, but it was empty all the same
A phony smile hung in a happy frame

I must find the garden grim where dreams go to die
Where the heart and soul are left to wonder why
It's far beyond your dreams in the graveyard of sighs
Where the Gladiator gives up the fight and dies
