A dark song that serves as a metaphor for how the music industry degrades their artists.
lyrics
Deep soul of demise
Caught between your lies
Pressure built from underneath
I’m caught up in this guise
I’m a catacomb inside
Devoid of all life
Pressure bursting from within
Cutting like a knife
The fear of what is right
Gouging out your eyes
Pressure cracking the facade
Won’t make it through the night
Got you in my sights
Could not hide it from the lights
Pressure finally freeing me
Tonight I ignite
Johnny Walker drowns the spite
Drinking downs the high
Met a girl that gave me a fright
Had open caskets for eyes
So I shudder on sight
Remove me from this plight
Opened Pandora’s box
To tempt the devil twice
Kill me with your lies, contempt at your slight
My expiration date is printed on my side
Fill me with your cries, echoed through the night
Don't mind me, I'm just along for the ride
Lacerate me with enigmas until my veins erupt
Drain the blood to fill up ten 16 ounce cups
Hang me high and dry for the vultures to find
Or feed me to the wolves, I swear I don't mind
Whore me out once or twice, or maybe seven times
Drug me with your intentions until I'm not fine
Parade me around the room to make a pretty dime
And then toss me away for the next one in line
