Long ago I lived alone
The world around me free to take
My journeys took me far
Faces always passing me by
No company I kept could satisfy the fire that burned deep within me
A curse to pass on to those who believed in me
I chose my poisons so carefully
Each one had served its purpose or so it had seemed
Medicate the demon in me
Feed the beast that dwells inside
I’m living for this, the dirt and the filth
Our blissful days of never-ending sin

Forget how it started and don’t worry about the end
For I will find out soon enough
So cheers to the past and cheers to the dead
This is the life of the left hand
I chose my poisons so carefully
Each one had served its purpose or so it had seemed
Medicate the demon in me
Feed the beast that dwells inside
I’m living for this, the dirt and the filth
Our blissful days of never-ending sin

Here’s to the night
Bury each glass just to feel alive
Throwing away my precious lifeline
Who needs it when the devil’s on my side?
A right hand man to lead me through the night
We search for our prey when the morning comes alive

If I survive the next days, things can always stay the same

Claw at my skin
Taste all this sin
We’ve been brewing it since we first met
Numb all the feelings
They’re pointless anyway
The beauty of choking in a midnight rest

If I survive the next days, things can always stay the same

A gorgeous angel walks right out the door
A breath of smoke leaving my lungs
I close my eyes and sink down to earth
Counting my scares
I can’t help but laugh
This demon is real and he’s staying with me

Pretend I care
It’s not enough
I chose my poison and its tasting good
Bring me smiles of joyful pain
Bring me the tears of regret and shame
Eyes glowing red and smeared lipstick face
The true beauty of lustful prey
Let it run through my veins
This demon is real and he’s staying with me
