Infliction

Knee-deep in tragedy

Anathematized 

Lifelong-seeded grief

Worn to a thread by

Recurrent distress

Sorrowful years of retrieval

Escaping into an asylum

Of dreams

Chemical cure of the soul



[Chorus:]

Last setback - Final defeat

No more going into reverse

This time the sun will set forever

On an empty shell of unconcern



Wading through waters of 

Frequent deceit

Suffering constant betrayal

Repeatedly stabbed in the chest

By mishap

Autumnal wasteland at heart



[Repeat Chorus]
