lyrics

Why do they come to me? I never asked for this
I just want to be left alone, believers acting like I have a gift
It’s wearing on my soul, not sure how much longer I can go
Every day that I continue to give’em a piece of me I will be nothing more than a collection of bones

What am I ‘posed to do? They enter without knocking
Feeding off all my fears, disregarding cries for them to stop it
It’s wearing on my soul, how much of me will they keep on taking?
If it continues to rob me of energy I believe I will be soon enough evaporated

Why do they come to me to die? Why do they come to me to die?
Why do they come to me to die? Why do they come to me to die?

It happens all the time, I can’t seem to get them off my mind
I can see the visions well defined, even when I try to shut my eyes
It’s wearing on my soul, but I’ve started fighting back
I cannot keep, living inside of my mind like a person convicted who didn’t commit the act

They’re a product of the fear a nagging sense that death is always near
No escape no way to win the game, everybody loses here the same
My soul is tired, but I can never quit
I’m ‘a continue the battle within, till I get rid of the images haunting my head

Why do they come to me to die? Why do they come to me to die?
Why do they come to me to die? Why do they come to me to die?
