Slipping through the cracks of a damaged psyché Slivers of the man I used to be
I can no longer find him, he's not close at hand No one can help me, they don't understand
I tried to change myself, to come out of my shell But I've opened a door to the seventh circle of hell
I enjoyed the power my new self brought Manipulated and subjugated my every thought
No more cowering and turning a cheek New strength coursed through veins that once were weak
At first I stood proud against a bullying crew Even though I took a beating or two
But then I opened the door even further Enjoyed fighting back with a new found fervor
I said goodbye to the man that I was Let the means be justified by the whispering cause
When it came to the point of no return I was no longer here to stop me burn
I lost myself in vengeance and killed another Took a boy away from his loving mother
The man I was is gone forever The man I became isn't here either
I'm a shell with a soul that is lost A broken man counting the cost
