Rick Welch - Frustration

Today I set my soul on fire
And watched as it burnt down
I’m just an empty body here for hire
In my sorrow I shall drown

Will someone take me away from here?
I can’t stand to live my life like this
I used to live my life in fear
Now I just raise my fist

I sleep all night
I sleep all day
Blocking out daylight
So I can sleep my life away

To take my mind off of my life
I practice self-mutilation
A couple pokes of my knife
Takes out all my frustration

The blood runs down
Sends a tingle through my spine
A dark red stains the ground
I'm filled with ecstasy divine

Bloodcurdling screams fill my conscious
I know what I’m doing is wrong
While cutting I must be cautious
If I slit my wrists, the pain will prolong

This is my final hour
I have finally reached the end
I’m here for Satan to devour
It’s my time to descend
