[Intro]
Fuck you all!

[Verse 1]
My redemption is knowing this will be over
My aggression, I fear I've lost control
Who is this man I stare?
Mirror reflects a stranger
Fist shatters the despair
Awake the pain to anger

[Chorus]
How do I close thine eyes of murder?
How do I close thine eyes of murder
Staring into me?

[Verse 2]
My obsession is dying, sinking me deeper
My depression, this world has disavowed
Razor at wrist, I seethe
The flesh is peeled apart now
Gone is my faded dream
Failure, I welcome in thou

[Chorus]
How do I close thine eyes of murder?
How do I close thine eyes of murder
Staring into me?
