Area 54

Personal Gain

Area 54


What is it that makes you 
The way that you are? 
Laughing along 
While you fill me with scars 
Hiding beneath 
Such a clever disguise 
Oh the lies 

You look in the mirror 
Does it look the same? 
You should by rights 
Be completely insane 
I know Catholic parents 
Can't be all it takes 
To make normal people 
Turn into fakes 
How many pieces of me 
Do you need to take? 

Every day they must pay 
'cos you play personal gain 

I watched as you got 
All the things that you need 
By choosing the ones you knew 
You could mislead 
If they knew the truth, then my hate 
They would all understand 
So now it's the end 
'cos the light now shines clear 
You've been exposed 
And now I know your fears 
In time, what's inside you 
Should be mine 
I read in between all the lines 
You live in fear 

Every day they must pay 
'cos you play personal gain 

You use people in life 
To get what you need 
Your thirst for success 
Ascending to greed 
Gladly you greet me 
Again and again 
And be my friend 
For your personal gain 
Now that you've fallen 
You slow for the bends 
And making amends 
Is a means to an end 
I'm hardly likely 
To lose once again 
And fall in a trap 
For your personal gain 

Drowning in quicksand 
The rain still falls on me 
Pulling myself up 
'cos no-one's there for me 
Never again can I let myself be 
In this place of aggression 
The chain must be cut free 
How many times can you 
Fuck someone over? 
Claiming you've changed 
With no God on your shoulder 
I clearly see you infect to survive 
But even the undead must die
