I know if I'd been wiser
this would never have occurred
but I wallowed in my blindness
so it's plain that I deserve

for the sin of self-indulgence when the truth was writ quite clear
I must spend my life amongst the dead who spend their lives in fear
of a death that they're not sure of, of a life they can't control
It's all so simple really if you just look to your soul
