My Nerves are shot

   I can't get adjusted

To what you are not

   Metal that has rusted

No reason to keep going

   My eyes are bloodshot

No reason to stop what I'm doing

   My skin turning hot 

To the rays of the sun

   With such raw power

I am about to run

   With my strong tower

No one can go as deep

   As I do

The grudge I keep

   If you only knew

The pain I felt

   What I laid

The cards I've dealt

   The prices I've paid

My Nerves are shot

   I can't get adjusted

To what you are not

   Metal that has rusted

No reason to keep going

   My eyes are bloodshot

No reason to stop what I'm doing

   My skin turning hot 

To the rays of the sun
