[Verse 1]
Broken down to a deep despair
Damaged way beyond repair
Fed up, drink up, just one more shot
Fall down, beat up by warm cuts

[Refrain Prelude]
Fists are broken, times running out - the scars of yesterday
Reflection in the mirror, destroying day by day
Reach out for light, stop the whispering - you’re ok down there
You lust for progress won't retreat and the wounds are everywhere

[Refrain]
Try to fade away in the night and seal your bleeding heart
To be a human, broke, never seemed so dark!
Sit down and drown in the surf to the shore, let go and die
Stop fighting and say your final goodbye!

[Chorus]
The problem is I'm gone, but no one knows!
Walk up under living shadows, dancing with the dead!
Same old reason, dead, but no one knows!
Hear the funeral bell going off - that’s how the story goes!

[Verse 2]
Waiting for the dark
Their placing a rescue while you drift
Away from the walls so cold
A monkey on his final walk of truth
[Chorus]
The problem is I'm gone, but no one knows!
Walk up under living shadows, dancing with the dead!
Same old reason, dead, but no one knows!
Hear the funeral bell going off - that’s how the story goes!

[Post-Chorus]
That's how the story goes!

[Bridge]
Wasting, time breathing!
Razor screams my heart!

[Refrain]
Try to fade away in the night and seal your bleeding heart
To be a human, broke, never seemed so dark!
Sit down and drown in the surf to the shore, let go and die
Stop fighting and say your final goodbye!

[Chorus]
The problem is I'm gone, but no one knows!
Walk up under living shadows, dancing with the dead!
Same old reason, dead, but no one knows!
Hear the funeral bell going off - that’s how the story goes!

[Outro]
That's how the story goes!
