lyrics
things have gone awry
even the stars hang by their sides tonight
no appeal goes undenied by somebody
sometimes even God shrugs His shoulders and sighs:
try with all your might, fight the dumb fight
how free is your will in the cradle of evil?
keep yourself away from here
nothing is valued, no one is safe
be afraid, child
it's been on my mind
love is always kind
where the fuck have I been all this time?
the labyrinthine halls of my excuses
burn like anything else
just given warmth and a chance
pray that I make it out in time
there's only so much
I see Satan everywhere, everywhere
nothing ever goes untouched
nothing ever goes untouched
nothing goes untouched
nothing goes untouched
nothing goes untouched, no
nothing goes untouched
nothing goes untouched, no
there's only so much
so much you can touch
no, don't
no, don't
no, don't
no, don't
oh, Lord have mercy
