lyrics

If you could
Only read my mind
You would know
It all too well
All the anger
That I hide
And all the things
I tend to dwell
If you’d only
Take the time
Ask me how
I tend to feel
You’d find
I’m a hateful guy
That doesn’t wish you well

Swimmin’ in a sea
of apathy
Get a taste
of the sweet misery
Less than a perfect phantasy
Bestowed with this misanthropy
Less than a perfect phantasy
If you could only
Hear my voice
Or the words
I have to say
I don’t think you’d
Be too thrilled
When the words
Are so profane
If you could only
See my eyes
Or the window
To my soul
Would it suggest
I’m human
Or a belligerent ghoul?

Swimmin’ in a sea
of apathy
Get a taste
of the sweet misery
Less than a perfect phantasy
Bestowed with this misanthropy
Less than a perfect phantasy

If you could only understand
Then you’d know
I have been to hell
Wearing two horns
On my head
Grumbling until I yell
If you’d only
take the time
Ask me how I tend to feel
You’d find I’m a decent guy
Standing at the gates of hell

Swimmin’ in a sea
of apathy
Get a taste
of the sweet misery
Less than a perfect phantasy
Bestowed with this misanthropy
Less than a perfect phantasy
