Running with Scissors Lyrics by The Great Deceiver

Life Is Wasted on the Living

0

Oh, sweet drug of materialism
Without  you we would be lost
Please  simulate
Our created needs
Your opiate is a must

Demand  nothing
Ordain  nothing
Regret nothing

Into  the caverns of envy
The loss of the last sympathy
Now give us the tools
To destroy
To  ravage all personality

Demand nothing
Ordain nothing
Regret nothing
Nothing

Not a word, not a deed
Not a thought, not a need
Not a doubt, not a trust
Not a scorn, not a lust
Not a hope, not a fear
Not a smile, not a tear
Not a name, not a face
No time, no place

We throw away our wealth
Our blindfold
And break this state of siege
The weakness...
When it gets too real
It frightens me
The darkness, blinding...
No end to our brutality
When it gets too real
It frightens me
When it gets too real
It frightens me

Demand nothing
Ordain nothing
Regret nothing
Nothing

Not a word, not a deed
Not a thought, not a need
Not a doubt, not a trust
Not a scorn, not a lust
Not a hope, not a fear
Not a smile, not a tear
Not a name, not a face
No time, no place

Determined to destroy
All of your illusions
Determined to destroy
Determined...

We relapse into the darkness
We relapse into the void
We relapse in to the darkness
We relapse...

The cancerous growth
That is mankind
Trapped within marble halls
To gain we must grow
As the present
Is our everything and all

Demand nothing
Ordain nothing
Regret nothing
Nothing

Not a word, not a deed
Not a thought, not a need
Not a doubt, not a trust
Not a scorn, not a lust
Not a hope, not a fear
Not a smile, not a tear
Not a name, not a face
No time, no place
