beacon, you're a sinister blight
and it hurts my eyes
you led me away so far from the light
where pain is the only delight
my stomach's churning
my tongue it's turning
nothing can tune my troubled heart
my blood it clots
endless thoughts
nothing can tune my trouble...
sadness, you never cease to thrive
you never let me go, you never let it slide
perhaps in another life
... in another life
my stomach's churning
my tongue it's turning
nothing can tune my troubled heart
my blood it clots
endless thougts
nothing can tune my trouble...
