about

Track 11 from "Suburban Warfare" compilation CD on Sektion 8 Records (c)1997

This is a slightly different version than was recorded on the "Inhuman" demo in 1995.

lyrics

Concrete monoliths are keeping me from the fresh air
Suffocating, always freezing, always hungry
I had it all in my hands so long ago
Now if something happens to me, who can I tell?

Don't pity me, please help me
Get on my feet so I can help myself
I just lie and wish myself to death
I wake upset, to see I have not ....

Left myself no other choice but to be set free
Just as I think I'll rise again I'm kicked in the teeth
This place where I enjoyed my sins shows me no remorse
What surrounds me will now pull me head under foot

Don't pity me, please help me
Get on my feet so I can help myself
I just lie and wish myself to death
I wake upset, to see I have not LEFT THIS PLACE!!

Around my waist, tied the burden I have caused
Pockets filled with the remnants of my life
Total grief, there is no one to stop me
I close my eyes and leave the rest to gravity

Air, escapes my lungs, I open my eyes
To see my breath float away, I except death inside me
I must not deny my death, I must embrace its throes
So tell me why do I feel much more ALIVE?!

I can feel hands and fingers racing up my legs to untie my despair
I can see the faces young and old of those who've done exactly what I've done
I shed myself of all human ways as I sense more life with my "death"
A city under city, this is my new home, I will forever live within its depths!

I'll never see the hate that lives
or walk the streets in fear
I'll never breathe the air again
Thank god I am inhuman!!
