I hate myself more than I ever let on. I`m burned out at 22. I lived too fast and I loved too much and I`ll die too young, but I chose this cup that I drank from. Knew what I was getting into. But I couldn`t let out what I had to keep in. I`m ashamed of myself and unspeakable sins that I`ve committed and…. I`ve made mistakes but I`ll find my way. No explanation for the things I`ve failed at before. They can`t hold my hand. It just hurts to be a man. Through the tortures of the damned. If I only had an axe I`d sever the ties I`ve made with the world. Maybe I can be a stranger in a strange place If I start now, maybe I can be saved. If I only had a mask, I`d cover these bleeding eyes. They`re bloodshot now but they`ll be black by dawn. If I wake up now I can be pure again. I`ve made mistakes but I`ll find my way. No explanation for the things I`ve failed at before. They can`t hold my hand. It just hurts to be a man. Through the tortures of the damned. Look at me now, I`m on the tracks with my back towards the last train leaving town (x4). I`ve made mistakes but I`ll find my way. No explanation for the things I`ve failed at before. They can`t hold my hand. It just hurts to be a man. (Through the tortures of the damned.) I`ve made mistakes but I`ll find my way. No explanation for the things I`ve failed at before. They can`t hold my hand. It just hurts to be a man. Through the tortures of the damned.
