Slave to the Riff

I'm just another fucking slave It's 3 am I should get some sleep Balled up notes scattered at my feet Chasing a feeling that I haven't felt since way back when I held the foolish hope that this would bring me peace It's not enough, never A voice insists I have to try to make it better But better's never there It's a ghost of a sound getting farther away Diverged from the path and it lead me astray The feeling it haunts me Eternally calling It won't let me rest And it won't let me forget I'm just a slave to the riff I'm just another fuckin' slave Signed and sealed in blood and sweat All it costs is a soul? I barely have one left I feel the sorrow cutting deeper and I can't resist Now won't you just give it to me? I've bled for this [Voice Over] Are you sure? I can grant what you seek but you will be forever changed. You may not like what you become... ...very well The feeling it haunts me eternally calling It won't let me rest And it won't let me forget I'm just another fuckin' slave I'm just a slave to the riff Close your eyes, let the melody hold you for a while But only for a moment
