This is a harsh world
And I'm a harsh man
I find safety in numbers
And a gun in my hand
I could you tell a story
Of my life of pain
But you've heard it before
And lived through the same
It hurts to see life's
Indifferent cruelty
A kick in the teeth
From society
The bonds of love are
The ties that bind
Bound and gagged we scream
For love gentle and kind
Humanity's inhumanity
Displayed on city streets
Between stranger and stranger
Strange we only hurt more
For love's rapacious greed
Love is a force of nature
Transcending mortal man
Love has no guilty conscience
When passion bloodies hands
I'm chewing asphalt for my sins
Of seeing what shouldn't be seen
In this world, dead and hopeless
It's either cry or scream
I'm chewing asphalt for my sins
Of seeing what shouldn't be seen
In this world, dead and hopeless
It's either cry or scream
I'm chewing asphalt for my sins
Of seeing what shouldn't be seen
In this world, dead and hopeless
It's either cry or scream
Punish for hate
But kill for love
Leave mercy to God
Trust pain, my love
Punish for hate
But kill for love
Leave mercy to God
Trust pain, my love
Trust me my love
Trust me my love
Trust me my love
Trust me my love (whisper)
This is a harsh world
And I'm a harsh man
I find safety in numbers
And a gun in my hand
