Thieves' Kitchen - De Profundis lyrics

This is my life This broken fence This grey and fractured Spiralling spike in my side The splinter in my dreams Too real, too real Hollowed whole Lightning-struck and smoking The trauma of I The danger of being, and feeling, and seeing I'm fighting time I can't explain I'm torn apart by My compulsion to destroy I'm splintering inside It's too real, too real Hollowed whole Lightning-struck and smoking The trauma of I The danger of being, and feeling, and seeing I live where I stand For tomorrow I die I'm open now, the wound may heal I smile inside in spite of me I try in vain to redefine The worn and ancient part of me
