  • The sacrifice must be for
    Some deity, babe I
    Just can't get hard for reality
    At least not mine
    Your love charity is like
    An immortal bleeding beast and here
    Is it to motivate my heart to function?
    This age is a bitch that burns our dreams so
    Can only turn away
    I wonder can I produce some of heat
    To keep our experiment in our heart
    I told you I could I couldn't cope
    Seeing the disappointment in your eyes

    Oh Nina, how can I defend myself against this world
    That batters me like a retarding cartoon
    It's too soon for salvation but that word is just a joke

    Oh Nina, my whole system is chaos
    I'm desperate for something but there's no human word for it
    I should be happy but
    What I feel is corrupted, broken, impotent and insane

    Oh Nina, I have become so hateful
    How am I ever going to survive this winter?
    I can think of nothing but getting my revenge
    Make those fuckers pray, not going to happen
    And it's eating a hole in me
    Eating a hole in me
    It's eating a hole
    Eating a hole
    Eating a hole in me

    In our heart and see each suffering repeat
    Our soul concession to find dimension

    I've inherited spiritual sanctions
    For some old ancestral crime
    It was committed long ago
    But the punishment's absolved all down the family line
    Everyone's so unstable on my mother's side
    And emotionally barren on my father's side
    But tell me how can I attempt to atone
    For somebody else's willful ignorance? Writer/s: KEVIN BARNES
