lyrics

got this gnawing empty feeling i've been trying to shake
my life it's just a reel of bad out takes
and my mind gets so numb from the dumb
i've been dying for a savior i've been chaffing at the bit
in every corner of existence every way out i invent
Lord knows that the money's spent

when they gonna take me
from the shadowland

i've been trying all day just to keep it together
never in my life have i been so affected by the weather
things that the people say
i've been trying all day just to keep it alive
crying all my life but it's only on the inside
oh darling i will let you in

hey we've hot new ways to treat the soul that succumbs
electroshock and valium
i've been victimized hypnotized sodomized here in the shadowland
i'm still dying for a Savior i'm still chaffing at the bit
in every corner of existence every way out i invent
Lord knows i've made enough of them
