Children of Bodom
Relapse (The Nature of My Crime)
[Verse 1]
Say you're hurting, but that's not where you're at
But then again who am I to say a word about that?
Come again? Did you wanna ask something?
Amen, I'm ready for judging
Forget I even said anything
Better yet turn around and start walking
So I sleep on it till next morning
Recurring dream so far from close
This nightmare is not my first warning
So on and on it goes

[Chorus]
Relapse once again, drain out my peace of mind
Too blind to witness the nature of my crime

[Verse 2]
I remember sitting through this strife
I didn't just meet you, I've known you my whole life
You tell me to grab a knife or a bottle
Watch your life travel by at full throttle
I'm done rackin' out my fried brain
Just go away, you're nothing new, you're all the same

[Refrain]
You knew my story, turn a page and read the signs
They speak of relapse between selected lines
[Chorus]
Relapse once again, drain out my peace of mind
Too blind to witness the nature of my crime

[Guitar solo]

[Chorus]
Relapse once again, drain out my peace of mind
Too blind to witness the nature of my crime

[Outro]
The thought of turning back sends shivers down my spine
Your delusions sure as hell were never mine
You knew my story from the get-go, read the signs
They scream of relapse between selected lines
