Weakened by my life’s strain
Dazed and dizzied by my pain
I stumble through day dazed
For the truly happy, I’m amazed
Why can’t I be more normal
Instead of being in a death well
No more energy, no more desire
I’m ready to roast on Hell’s fire

I wish I had more strength
I wish I could explain more at length
But life’s too god-damned long
People will only remember what I did wrong
Of all my hopes one stands supreme
I want to be free of your chains
But I have no more energy, no more desire
I’m ready to roast on Hell’s fire

My life was so empty
My life was wasted I see
Too many dreams, too little chance
I was too deranged for life’s dance
Death is a better place I think
A warm place for my life to rethink
But I have no more energy, no more desire
I’m roasting on the fury of Hell’s fire

I’ve sat for a hundred eons
Just watching my mind’s peons
Wondrin’ if I could make it again
And wondrin’ about what coulda been
I’m much more sane I hope
Not intoxicated by illusionary dope
I hope I have more energy, more desire
To get away from the fury of Hell’s fire

This time life’s much more successful
I haven’t tripped on any of life’s pitfalls
It seems to be smooth sailing
Not like my previous ailings
No more of life’s fake illusions
My head’s clear, no more delusions
I have more energy, lots more desire
I’m never gonna roast on Hell’s fire

My God, you’ve got me again somehow
You were gone but……here now
I underestimated your power
Now I’ve wilted like a spring flower
I won’t fight you anymore
You’ve killed me right to the core
I’ve got no more energy, no more desire
Please let me roast on Hell’s fire

My brittle soul will last forever
Me and eternity as one together
The pain you caused still haunts me
The throbbing pain won’t leave me be
A bullet coulda done so much earlier
It woulda killed my brain and my terror
I have no more energy, no more desire
I want to roast….on Hell’s fire

A soul never dies even if wanted
No human being is ever truly dead
We survive with nothing left to be done
We watch lives that follow the sun
I’m giving up on true happiness
I guess there isn’t a thing known as bliss
All I ever wanted was one goal
But life has beaten and killed my soul

A man once told me the bitter truth
That life never had and doesn’t have couth
It beats to death out inner spirit
Destroying anyone it tarries with
I shoulda listened to that man
But I wouldn’t take life over again
I failed twice and that’s enough
Believe me, life is tough as it is rough

If life ever drowns out your song
Don’t worry, you’re not wrong
Life is the one with the flaws
Governed by imperfect preset laws
If ever you are down and out
It’s taken you that long to find out
We live for nothing and no one
One might as well shoot his gun

Don’t get the wrong idea about my advice
It’s based on an average life
You may succeed where others have failed
Your ticket to success must have been mailed
You might be one of the lucky few
But you won’t know ’till your life’s through

Maybe it was caused by me
Caused by all my inability
I think did everything right
I prayed for hope and saw the light
I’m overcome with guilt-ridden pain
As my cold-filled tears fall like rain
I’ll pick myself off of this floor
To regain my dignity, nothing more

It’s the one true wish we’d all like
It disintegrates all pains alike
Salvation is a petty and small goal
I want understanding for each soul
We should find understanding while alive
Not by religion which is too contrived
We live for nothing and no one
One might as well shoot his gun
