Lacking

When the time comes, I want you to know That I’ve tried my best That I’ve broken my back That I’ve sold my soul That I’ve killed my pride Something’s just lacking   Come here, and I’ll let you in on a secret Long enough have I endured this ordeal Long enough have I hidden behind this iron mask Long enough have I been the fool Long enough have I played my part More, and more, and more is lacking Promise me something When dining on the ashes no longer cuts it Stick my head to the grindstone Split open the mask and find my lost self within Probably the best thing anyone could ever do for me And still, more is found lacking Crack open my skull Feast on my grey matter Maybe you’ll find what’s missing Release me from this prison Salvation escapes me Set me free all the same
