Always forgetting all the things I learn
Always regretting the evil I yearn
How do I stop? Where do I turn when everything inside my flesh just wants to burn?
I can hear the sirens deepen now
They leave me here in the dark with the sounds
Of the blood that pumps from the valves to my veins to my limbs and other injured things

Oh death is my name
Oh buried in shame
Oh what will it take for everything inside of me to start coming awake?

I can see that I am headed south
The winter’s cold won't keep me in this house
I need the heat to fill up my lungs and bring life back to the soul inside of my tongue
When I recall all the words you spoke I experience dissension provoked
Between my heart and my head
I need a bypass of the arteries that carry my dread

Oh where do I go?
Oh I wanna know
Oh this battered cell, I need someone to come and call me up out of this hell
Oh death is my name
Oh buried in shame
Oh what will it take for everything inside of me to start coming awake?

I remember everything You said
Yours is the power to raise the dead

I need someone to come and call me up out of this hell
Your life in my veins, everything inside of me starts coming awake
