I DID MY PART AND MADE A MESS OF ME

GAVE MYSELF A BLOODY HISTORY

YOU DID YOUR PART OPENED THE DOOR FOR ME

LETS SLIP THROUGH BEFORE SOMEONE SEES


I USED TO WONDER HOW IT FELT TO "BE"

THOUGHT I DIDN'T EXIST YOU SEE

WALKIN MY PATH NOT CARIN' WHERE IT LEADS

NOW I'M HERE IT'S SO CLEAR TO ME


I CONFESS IT'S A LOVE OF LABOR

HAD A DEATH GRIP AROUND MY PAIN

THOUGHT THE WORLD IT OWED ME A FAVOR

SO WHY AM I OUT HERE IN THE RAIN?


DUG DOWN SO DEEP THE AIR WAS HARD TO BREATHE

HATE & GUILT KEPT ME COMPANY

TIGHTENED MY GRIP AROUND MISANTHROPY

'TIL IT WOKE UP THE GOD IN ME


I CONFESS IT'S A LOVE OF LABOR

HAD A DEATH GRIP AROUND MY PAIN

THOUGHT THE WORLD IT OWED ME A FAVOR

SO WHY AM I OUT HERE IN THE RAIN?

YES I CONFESS IT'S A LOVE OF LABOR

SO MUCH MORE THAN A SLIGHT REFRAIN

I'M LAYIN' ALL OF MY CARDS ON THE TABLE

I'M HEADED BACK TO THE SOURCE AGAIN
