Divine intoxication spills out the pores
A self diluting fix that craves all the more
Destructive seasoned vet
Full glass of sting
A bittersweet triumph that weights in each day
Obsession my falsest friend
Moderation - a fantasy that I can't win
Devastation - a hardship lost
Demanding - the pain of wasted years

Lift me up, tear me down
Will I last through this glorius nightmare? (x5)

Collapse all that's sacred
Prey on the weak
Slow painful suicide
That steals from each man
Hells fire soon returns to rape the well
Prolific doom machine that hears our words

I'm fighting the will to live
With countless persuasions
I'm fighting the will to live
The endless temptations
The endless temptations

Its lifeless grip that haunts us all
That haunts us all
Pulling from every direction
Its lifeless grip grabs hold
Yearning is now my dissension
Its lifeless grip grabs hold

Lift me up, tear me down
Will I last through this glorious nightmare? (x6)

Tear me down. (x3)
