Another dream that will never come true Just to compliment your sorrow Another life that I've taken from you A gift to add on to your pain and suffering Another truth you can never believe Has crippled you completely All the cries you're beginning to hear Trapped in your mind, and the sound is deafening Let me enlighten you This is the way I pray Living just isn't hard enough Burn me alive, inside Living my life's not hard enough Take everything away Another nightmare about to come true Will manifest tomorrow Another love that I've taken from you Lost in time, on the edge of suffering Another taste of the evil I breed Will level you completely Bring to life everything that you fear Live in the dark, and the world is threatening Let me enlighten you This is the way i pray Living just isn't hard enough Burn me alive, inside Living my life's not hard enough Take everything away Return to me Leave me no one Turn to me Return to me Cast aside You've made me turn away Living just isn't hard enough Burn me alive, inside Living my life's not hard enough Take everything away
