[Verse 1]
Death and suffering all around me
No escape, so why go on?
When no one cares, no one's there
You die inside before you're gone
I've tried to reach the highest point of vision
And my dreams appear fulfilled

[Pre-Chorus]
But held before my eyes
Is a vision that now lies
Forever searching for the purpose
Are we running out of time?

[Chorus]
Waiting while the acid words are feeding
Watching as your will's deteriorating

[Verse 2]
When I'm dead, will you remember
All the things I've tried to say?
This cancer inside of me destroying my life
When I rot in the ground, will you care?

[Pre-Chorus]
The sands of time are pointless
In a useless, ugly world
Nothing brings peace of mind
I leave nothing behind
If my words are left unheard
[Chorus]
Waiting while the acid words are feeding
Watching as your will's deteriorating

[Bridge]
And I've learned to watch the downgrade
And I've learned to follow the eyes behind me
Through the twisting, hollow, strange roads
To the apex of our fate, so cold

[Solo: Loomis]

[Pre-Chorus]
And I hate the way you look at me
With your frozen, soulless eyes
Deny it, ignore it, and cover it in shame
In your arrogant, nameless void

[Chorus]
Waiting while the acid words are feeding
Watching as your will's deteriorating

[Outro]
It's a one-way ride
And there's nothing you can do
Not even suicide
Or my acid words can teach you
Anything useful
