Game of Numbers - Dirty Purity

Bring me a glass of water To wash the dirt from my throat I've been wandering my whole life out there Help me out of my coat This water's as clear as crystal We should thank the Lord for that Sit you down and hear my story Find somewhere for my hat A barkeep takes a stranger's hat And finds a vacant hook Turns back towards the traveller His right hand on an old, black book The holy Book of Numbers I take it's something that you've read? The long search in the wilderness For a place to lay my head So many parables in the scriptures But this one I'm doomed to tell For I stormed the gates of Heaven To find myself in Hell This is my lonely mission To wake the world up to its fate To dismantle my own invention For the hour is getting late This holy Book of Numbers As we walk through the shadow of death Tell me, are you listening, boy Or am I just wasting my breath? There are fools in the courts of power While I've walked through this vale of bitter tears At the mercy of recording angels For three score and twenty-five years The barkeep gets up from the table To fill up another glass He turns around to find an empty chair All that's left is the name in his hat

Maze, psychopathic daze, I create this waste Back away from tangents on the verge of drastic ways Can't escape this place, I deny your face Sweat gets in my eyes, I think I'm slowly dying Put me in a homemade cellar Put me in a hole for shelter Someone hear me, please, all I see is hate I can hardly breathe and I can hardly take it Hands on my face, overbearing, I can't get out! Hands on my face, overbearing, I can't Lost, run at my own cost, hearing laughter, scoffed Learning from the rush, detached from such and such Bleak all around me, weak, listening, incomplete I am not a dog but I'm the one you're dogging I am in a buried kennel I have never felt so final Someone find me, please, losing all reserve I'm fucking gone, I think I'm fucking dying Hands on my face, overbearing, I can't get out! Hands on my face, overbearing, I can't You all stare, but you'll never see There's something inside me You all stare, but you'll never see There's something inside me You all stare, but you'll never see There's something inside me You all stare, but you'll never see There's something in you I despise! Cut me, show me, enter I am willing and able and never any danger to myself Knowledge in my pain, knowledge in my pain Or was my tolerance a phase? Empathy, out of my way I can't die! I can't die! I can't die! I can't die! You all stare, but you'll never see There's something inside me You all stare, but you'll never see There's something inside me You all stare, but you'll never see There's something inside me You all stare, but you'll never see There's something in you I despise! Despise, despise! Purity! Purity! Purity! Purity! Purity! Purity! Purity! Purity!
