lyrics

I am the man of a million faces
In this race we can time
Can't be trusted touched with lust and misery
Greedy arrogant and disgusting un-worth touching oh no
But I don't care about anything

Why bother with the world, what is love to a snake?
I am the filth the scum the bottle of rum with a bitter taste
I could be scary, gentle, sweet, resentful all of the mix
As long is gets me to my next fix

Women and pills are my passion
Living between this separation
I twist words like the devil twists minds
I find the truth is buried in lies

Yesterday I the king of misfits took a visit for my crown
Lonely in the city suburbs on the upper side of town
Headlights flashing cars were passing through the night
Suddenly the car swerved into the light

Metal on metal.
Crashing through the light
Fire on fire
Burning through the night

I heard a child scream
A woman's tears a memory
I watched a burning dream
Like broken wicks and kerosene

My mind spun with a thousand voices
Save their lives or burn their choices

(They were already gone)

Today a letter came like whispers in the night
Spoke of what I've seen what I must testify
Spoke of riches beyond my wildest dreams
And that they could belong to me
