“Maintain the Pain”

Lost in the world…which way is up?
And you just can't find a way to care enough
You find the next narcotic…fire it up
And brace for impact…time to self destruct
Cause deep down we hate ourselves
Gave up if nothing else…hollow like broken shells
And maintain the pain with liquor shelves
So let it be me that you see when your time is up
And I just can't find a way to care enough
Lights go on and the walls go up
And life chewed you out and spit you up
And you can't trust love…it'll leave you damned
So you can't blame me for the beast I am
Cause deep down we hate ourselves
Gave all if nothing else became hollow like broken shells
And maintain the pain with liquor shelves
