Dead Behind the Eyes

Surrounding me is a picture of a world gone wrong
Paved with sickness and the broken young
Count the saved, count the graves
Count the cuts and taste the blood in the rain
They are the worthless unforgiving
The murdered amongst the living

So why spend your time
Waiting and wishing and praying for a better living
When you're force-fed their decisions

You'll all just get bitten again

I can't piece together the problems
I'm telling you to think for yourself
I can't put peace in the violence
I'm not going to fight it

I can feel the breath on the back of my neck
I'm spitting blood to get your voice out of my head
I'm feeding on the pain of the sick
The needle and the hospital bed

We are nothing like these creatures
Guilty, scarred, I can't forget
You starve pride to feed your selfishness

We are nothing like these creatures
Guilty, scarred, I can't forget
You still feed the hunger leading you to your death
You'll give it up when you've got no time left
You're breeding in a national debt
You starve pride to feed your selfishness

Surrounding me is a picture of a world gone wrong
Paved with sickness and the broken young
Count the saved, count the graves
Count the cuts and taste the blood in the rain

Have we given up?
Should we hang the bastard young?
To save them from the nothing that so many have become

We're all dead behind the eyes
We're just dreaming of a better life
We're all dead behind the eyes
We're just dreaming of a better life

We are nothing like these creatures
Guilty, scarred, I can't forget
You starve pride to feed your selfishness
We are nothing like these creatures
Guilty, scarred, I can't forget

I let the bastards surround me
I let the bastards surround me
I let the bastards surround me
