Lyrics

As paranoia sets in the shelter's quickly built
To hide behind a barricade of alcohol and guilt
When you wear a mask for too long your face starts to conform
And when the mask is removed a new face is quickly born

The days pass into months the months pass into years
Why am I still hiding if there's nothing left to fear
The probability of human life outside the tomb is slim
The skeletons are adding up outside along the rim

The glass is shattered the flesh is dead
And now my only friend the pen projects just what she said
Before the fun was over I know it's such a pity
Now I'm on the run from Mexico City

I rarely see the light of day I rarely see a soul
I wake up when the sun goes down and it's starting to take its toll
I've built up my defenses for what I still don't know
The wall where I bang my head has become another foe

Why do I hide in this god forsaken place
My life would be in shambles if I ever showed my face
A stupid drunken night a stupid drunken game
A slip of the trigger finger and nothing could be the same

The glass is shattered the flesh is dead
And now my only friend the pen projects just what she said
Before the fun was over I know it's such a pity
Now I'm on the run from Mexico City
