Born of Desire by Mushroomhead Lyrics
[Intro : Jeffrey Nothing]
Wait !
[Verse 1 : J. Mann (Jeffrey Nothing)] x2
I feel so helpless in this haze
Better days are laid to rest
Life's a test, world of stress
Who is blessed ? (Can I get a little heart ?)
You know the deal, our weakness is we feel
Torn apart still, we've got to keep it real
[Chorus : J. Mann]
Born of desire, conspired, denial
Be your own Messiah and savior, everything
I am the liar, jester to the sire
I burn with you, fire, walk with me
[Verse 2 : Jeffrey Nothing]
Pleasing dreams are few and far between
The good and badly needed breaks in life
Just so you don't hate yourself
[Chorus : J. Mann]
Born of desire, conspired, denial
Be your own Messiah and savior, everything
I am the liar, jester to the sire
I burn with you, fire, walk with me
[Bridge : Jeffrey Nothing]
If you believe, in some kind of master work
This was all meant for something
[Verse 3 : Jeffrey Nothing] x2
I am truly sorry
Although I'm really laughing inside
Because I know
This all comes out to nothing
[Chorus : J. Mann]
Born of desire, conspired, denial
Be your own Messiah and savior, everything
I am the liar, jester to the sire
I burn with you, fire, walk with me
[Bridge : Jeffrey Nothing]
Go on believe, life's some kind of master work
This was all meant for something
Sorry, I'm laughing inside, for nothing
Sorry, I'm laughing inside, for nothing
[Bridge : J. Mann] x2
Rats in the front room, roaches in the back
Filthy in the alley with a baseball bat
[Bridge : Jeffrey Nothing]
Sorry, I'm laughing inside for nothing
[Verse 4 : J. Mann]
It was plain to see that your life was lost
You was cold and your body swung back & forth
But now your eyes sing the sad, sad song
Of how you lived so fast, died so young
[Verse Two bis : Jeffrey Nothing]
Pleasing dreams are few and far between
The good and badly needed breaks in life
Just so you don't hate yourself
[Verse 1 -bis- : J. Mann (Jeffrey Nothing)]
I feel so helpless in this haze
Better days are laid to rest
Life's a test, world of stress
Who is blessed ? (Can I get a little heart ?)
You know the deal, our weakness is we feel
Torn apart still, we've got to keep it real
[Chorus : J. Mann] x2
Born of desire, conspired, denial
Be your own Messiah and savior, everything
I am the liar, jester to the sire
I burn with you fire, walk with me
[Outro : J. Mann]
Born of desire !
Wait !
[Verse 1 : J. Mann (Jeffrey Nothing)] x2
I feel so helpless in this haze
Better days are laid to rest
Life's a test, world of stress
Who is blessed ? (Can I get a little heart ?)
You know the deal, our weakness is we feel
Torn apart still, we've got to keep it real
[Chorus : J. Mann]
Born of desire, conspired, denial
Be your own Messiah and savior, everything
I am the liar, jester to the sire
I burn with you, fire, walk with me
[Verse 2 : Jeffrey Nothing]
Pleasing dreams are few and far between
The good and badly needed breaks in life
Just so you don't hate yourself
[Chorus : J. Mann]
Born of desire, conspired, denial
Be your own Messiah and savior, everything
I am the liar, jester to the sire
I burn with you, fire, walk with me
