Reoccurring patterns on my screen and the stories they tell
Serve only to remind me why you can't help the ones who won't help themselves
Reoccurring visions like a window into hell
Empty shells and the ghost white sheets where the bodies fell
And I'm asking myself why?

But I guess money talks and morality walks, who'd have thought? Go figure
Can you feel the size of the hole in your body as your soul leaves

I hope the guilt weighs a fucking tonne
And you're crushed by the gravity of the depravity of what you've done
It's never too late to right your wrongs
Leave them in the past where this shit belongs
Before it's too late and you're at the gates
'Cause you let fate take you away with a
