Messiah Complex i: Ivory Tower

Shameless, skying above
Preying on the nameless, jury and judge
Everything they had was never enough
Spirit me away
Crawling under my skin, spiraling through my head
Taste my own medicine, drunk on the power
Rid this pestilence from within, a prayer for the innocent
Talk me down from the ledge of my ivory tower
Struggle to be in the now
When life’s too much to swallow, it spits me right out
But I cling on, reaping seeds I dare to sow
For all the lives I ever stole and now I must repel the host
Forever I’ll be spirited away
Crawling under my skin, spiraling through my head
Taste my own medicine, drunk on the power
Rid this pestilence from within, a prayer for the innocent
Talk me down from the ledge of my ivory tower
Where I end, you begin
When I fall, you will stand
