Carnival Of Souls lyrics

I lived a life of illusion and you had your kicks
So what, there's nothing left to do
And you and your obsessions and your crucifix
As if what I thought mattered much to you

And you were always my friend from Childhood's End
It was forever and ever
Did you understand
It's Childhood's End
But never, the dream is over

Sunday morning in the New York Times
I read you died last night

Hate is what I am
Cuz underneath this heart
There beats the heart of man

You'll wear your crown
When you're lyin' 6 feet underground

Don'tcha think it's odd
Man was created in the image of God

All you martyrs and saviours
Go through the same door
Listen all you butchers, saints and sinners
We've all been here before

Yes, Hate is what I am
Cuz underneath this heart

When I look into the mirror
Just can't believe, what do I see
There's no wakin' from this nightmare
And you're lost in your reality

So you tell me all your secrets
And you tell me that you're innocent
There's something in your eyes I can see
And my face keeps looking back at me

You Confess
You can't help yourself
This living lie that you can't go on
You're possessed

I look deep inside of me
there's a place but its not plain to see
I belong where no on else can be

Searching for myself again
Here I'm all alone and when
I Close my eyes -- no one else can see

I Walk Alone, can't you see
I don't belong, let me be
Everything I dreamed of being -- is me
And I got myself to lean on,
got both my feet on the ground

And you don't know me,
I don't know me

Each and every day
People turn away
Change the things they feel
Change the things they say

We can never know
Where our lives will lead
Wherever you go
Whenever you need

I will be there
Wanna be there
I will hear you when you call
Give you anything at all
I will be there
Anywhere
Like a father to his son

You are just a child
All is yet to be
Growing all the while

I'm obnoxious and no one's home
In my head
In my head

Cardboard boxes filled with hate
In my head
They're in my head

Nest of termites, glowin' red
In my head
They're in my head

Look behind the mask
Try to find peace of mind
And you'll find
Just look behind the man
And lead me by the hand

Faded smiles behind dark shades
In my head
In my head

Plastic icons, glowin' red

You were in the right
Until you're left stuck in the middle
I still wonder why
You gave it all for such a little

You
Tell me you're only
Scared to be lonely
On and on

You
Livin' on credit
Want it, you get it
Right or wrong

You oughtta take a look in the mirror
Every line's gettin' clearer
See the face you can't deny

You appear to me
Appear to be lost in confusion

Want it
You can have it
Come and take it
I don't need it

Power and possessions
Never quiet your obsessions
Outside, we search for something
Inside, we still have nothing

People deep in trouble
Let their money run for double
Outside, they search for something
Inside, they still have nothing

It never ends
There's nothing I can do
There's nothing I can say
And even if I could

Here I go
Down below

The sun is goin' down
A jungle comes alive
The beast is waking up
To take another life
I can't sleep
In too deep

The man with nothing left
Without a place to hide
Will take a final breath
And tumble in the night

Yeah
Someone's safe at home
Someone dies alone
Someone's fallen prey
Yeah
Some will take their fill
Like lions to the kill
Livin' day to day

Life, a movie in my head
A page of lines we read
The words remain unsaid

Time, a race you never win
Look back at where we've been
And throw the towel in

Every time I see a sign
Tell me what's the bottom line
Tell Me
I just wanna take my turn
Now before I crash and burn
Yeah

Hope, a candle burning bright
A temporary light
'Till we return tonight

Love, the mighty drug we crave

Tell me what you want me to be
I can't stand myself anymore
Tell me what you want me to see
I can't find my way off the floor

Took me like a hurricane
I think it's gonna rain, yeah
I think it's gonna rain
Rain down on me

Tell me what you want me to hear
Whisper words inside of my head
Thunder like a gun in my ear
Clouds are burstin' over my bed

Wash me like a hurricane

He always wears his bible belt
The collar under his head
It's like a noose around his neck

His sandaled feet don't touch the ground
Ears don't hear a sound
Seduction Of The Innocent

Everybody thinks there's always a reason
Need a reason to cry
You kiss the hand of the man for all seasons
And don't know why

Say it friend, if you had to do it all over again
