The Mephistopheles of Massachusetts Lyrics

Have you ever looked up at the sun and saw it frowning to you?

Disappointed in your spirit but you do your best to move through

Never stop reflecting always bask within the bright lights

Don't bother looking for some solace you're too gloomy right?

Tug of war inside your mind you never know which way its pulling

Descend into hellfire the magma can be so alluring

Vortexes will suck you in, suddenly your soul is ripped

Tear through space and time remember this can end in just a blip

Snap your fingers everything is gone it all just turns to ash

Dust to dust you shall return

Not even your spirit will last

Acid wash eats at the skin and all that's left is just a rash

If it starts to hurt just cut it open pour salt in the gash

The King of Grief outgrew his crown I think it's time he makes a deal

Ask for all the power he can get and all of it he'll steal

Take the souls of all the weary lost control of all his zeal

Become Mephistopheles and force the whole kingdom to kneel

But everywhere he looks and turns he sees the shadows

Plotting on him

Paranoia in his thoughts I think its cause his soul is rotten

At least that's how he feels, so alone and so withdrawn

Cut the tether watch him float away with nothing to hold on

Dead astronaut in outer space just flying through the galaxy

He's been high for days he doesn't understand the gravity

Separate personas leave a hole just like a cavity

That's what happens when you've lived a decade filled with apathy

Have you ever looked inside your mother's eyes and saw her sadness

Wondering where she went wrong because

Her son is filled with madness?

I did it to myself from taking all those stupid tablets

A fraction of me died that day cause all he saw was blackness

Save yourself from Hell I'd rather bear my mark of sacrifice

Turn into the God hand only evil there's no paradise

Try to cleanse the tar that's in my heart but I don't know will it suffice

Guess I'll find out in the future hope that I end up alright

Walk into my feet start bleeding I can never stay stagnant

My soul has just been shattered all that's left are just some fragments

Find a sweet succubus to keep me close just like a magnet

Eventually I'll leave because the love I'm looking for is absent

Just another addict talking about his different tales of woe

Package up my pain just like a product what a pretty show

Every song is just a scar a remnant of my growing shadow

Wish that you could meet the real me

Not the one that's filled with sorrow

Samuel is deep asleep so right now it's just Godinho

Sandman came and slit his throat and now he's bleeding

On the pillow

Nothing that he hasn't done before but really what do you know

You just listen to these songs and think you've read his autobio

Another project teaching you about all of my pain

Every one is different listen cause they're not the same

They deal with different things and talk about a place

Beyond the pines

A shrouded little corner where you find out

How I lost my mind
