Human Remains

I always find, but can never get
What I desire, I soon forget
And as always we start to fight
As predictable as the night
So let me show you how to do
Maybe make a deal or two
Touch my soul
Touch my skin
Let me harm you from within

Look, you're a part of me
And this is how it must be

But secrets fade for every breath
I suffered life
Now I'll suffer death
Every advance was really a retreat
Every victory just another defeat

Take me to a world of yours
I will be your inner source
Search the secrets of my soul
You might find your longed-for goal
So let me show you how to do
Self-denial can be fun too
Eat my heart
Peel off my skin
Obey the voices from within

But secrets fade for every breath
I suffered life
Now I'll suffer death
Every advance was really a retreat
Every victory just another defeat

Turn these fragments into one
Then my troubles will be gone
