I was spending my time in the doldrums
I was caught in the cauldron of hate
I felt persecuted and paralyzed

I thought that everything else would just wait
While you are wasting your time on your enemies
Engulfed in a fever of spite

Beyond your tunnel vision reality fades
Like shadows into the night


To martyr yourself to caution
Is not going to help at all
Because there'll be no safety in numbers

When the Right One walks out of the door

Can you see your days blighted by darkness?

Is it true you beat your fists on the floor?
Stuck in a world of isolation
While ivy grows over the door


So I open my door to my enemies
And I ask could we wipe the slate clean

But they tell me to please go $#&@ myself
You know you just can't win
