paroles de chanson The Mephistopheles of Massachusetts - Godinho

Have you ever looked up at the sun and saw it frowning to you?
Disappointed in your spirit but you do your best to move through
Never stop reflecting always bask within the bright lights
Don't bother looking for some solace you're too gloomy right?
Tug of war inside your mind you never know which way its pulling
Descend into hellfire the magma can be so alluring
Vortexes will suck you in, suddenly your soul is ripped
Tear through space and time remember this can end in just a blip
Snap your fingers everything is gone it all just turns to ash
Dust to dust you shall return
Not even your spirit will last
Acid wash eats at the skin and all that's left is just a rash
If it starts to hurt just cut it open pour salt in the gash
The King of Grief outgrew his crown I think it's time he makes a deal
Ask for all the power he can get and all of it he'll steal
Take the souls of all the weary lost control of all his zeal
Become Mephistopheles and force the whole kingdom to kneel
But everywhere he looks and turns he sees the shadows
Plotting on him
Paranoia in his thoughts I think its cause his soul is rotten
At least that's how he feels, so alone and so withdrawn
Cut the tether watch him float away with nothing to hold on
Dead astronaut in outer space just flying through the galaxy
He's been high for days he doesn't understand the gravity
Separate personas leave a hole just like a cavity
That's what happens when you've lived a decade filled with apathy

Have you ever looked inside your mother's eyes and saw her sadness
Wondering where she went wrong because
Her son is filled with madness?
I did it to myself from taking all those stupid tablets
A fraction of me died that day cause all he saw was blackness
Save yourself from Hell I'd rather bear my mark of sacrifice
Turn into the God hand only evil there's no paradise
Try to cleanse the tar that's in my heart but I don't know will it suffice
Guess I'll find out in the future hope that I end up alright
Walk into my feet start bleeding I can never stay stagnant
My soul has just been shattered all that's left are just some fragments
Find a sweet succubus to keep me close just like a magnet
Eventually I'll leave because the love I'm looking for is absent
Just another addict talking about his different tales of woe
Package up my pain just like a product what a pretty show
Every song is just a scar a remnant of my growing shadow
Wish that you could meet the real me
Not the one that's filled with sorrow
Samuel is deep asleep so right now it's just Godinho
Sandman came and slit his throat and now he's bleeding
On the pillow
Nothing that he hasn't done before but really what do you know
You just listen to these songs and think you've read his autobio
Another project teaching you about all of my pain
Every one is different listen cause they're not the same
They deal with different things and talk about a place
Beyond the pines
A shrouded little corner where you find out
How I lost my mind
