Born Too Late

Every time I'm on the street People laugh and point at me They talk about my length of hair And the out of date clothes I wear They say I look like the living dead They say I can't have much in my head They say my songs are much too slow But they don't know the things I know I know I don't belong And there's nothing I can do I was born too late And I'll never be like you In my life things never change To everybody I seem strange But in my world now something's died So I just stare with these insane eyes I know I don't belong And there's nothing that I can do I was born too late And I'll never be like you And I don't want to be like you!

I see colours everywhere I have things living in my hair In the dark, I see lights My brain is working overtime On clear windowpane In my house, all things glow My walls are a living light show Purple dragons, smoke with me I have friends only I can see On clear windowpane I can't handle coming down 'Cause I can't take the human crowd I can't face reality So I fly back to where I am free On clear windowpane

I have got to change my ways 'Cause I'm losing my mind I have got to stop drinking 'Cause I'm dying inside I feel twice as old as I am And it's getting worse I'm in the palm of habit's hand I can't escape the curse There is nothing that I can do I have no self control I have let myself become dead I have ruined my soul Every time I wake up sick I say never again But then opportunity knocks And I'm wasted my friend I can't control my addiction I've tried time and time again I'm losing all my friends and lovers Alcohol knows it's gonna win Now I have lost everything And I really don't care Everybody that I have known Has out cast me here Drinking has wasted my life And I'm dying inside I feel twice as old as I am I've lost what left of my mind I can't control my addiction I've tried time and time again I'm losing all my friends and lovers Alcohol knows it's gonna win

Look into the void Beware of the dark It hypnotised your soul Prepare to fall Into the hole Do you feel the wretched cold As your mind 's turning all what 's told Regretting, remembering The evil seeds of old Embraced in your pain and your sorrow There's no time left to borrow Falling in a void If you see a light And not a darkening swell Rescue me now Before I reach hell Are you shivering limbs intact Do you care where you'll impact Falling in a bottomless pit Is there no end to this moronic wit

I live inside you Depression is my name I'll crack your world with Bitter mental games You try to suppress me But nothing holds me down Just when you think you're happy I come around I was meant to be A punishment to you A thorn in your side A cancer eating through I twist reality And make it hard to bear I am the only thing left When love isn't there I'm taking over I'll snap your mind in two I'll make suicide seem Like the right thing to do You try to drown me With alcohol and pills But in the end you are The only one that kills

I have seen a thousand wars And I will see a thousand more I have heard the children cry And I have seen their bodies fry You know me, you've seen my face All around this wretched place You can call me warrior But I'm actually the war starter Long ago in days of old I gave you clubs then broadswords Now you use machinery New toys of war, new toys for me You've elected one of my Right-hand men to lead your kind After war saves your economy He'll soothe you with artificial peace Mushroom clouds, atomic fright Burning winds, your towns ignite I have taught you very well How to create your own hell Blind mice follow their leaders No one wins, all are beaten Bells ring, it's the end of class Push your button and you've passed
