Drown my sorrows, numb the pain,
Pass the buck and push the blame
At the end of the day, we're all the same
Over and over, we'll start again
It's all my fault,
It's all my fault
It wasn't murder it was sacrifice;
The sake of a planet, in exchange for their lives.
Only a job, only a task,
Momentary respite, is that too much to ask?
No time to sleep, no time to rest
Carry on working, ignore the stress.
These nightmares, these dreams, they're burning my soul
It's torture enough, how could I have known?
Drown my sorrows, numb the pain,
Pass the buck and push the blame
At the end of the day, we're all the same
Over and over, we'll start again
It's all my fault
It's all my fault
Children playing, laughing, crying,
Burning, bleeding; slowly dying.
Screams echo inside my head,
Every one of them, all of them dead.
"It's just your duty; you've done it before,
You're used to dealing with violence and gore."
These words, they writhe, they hurt, they sting,
I'm stuck in the dirt, I've broken my wings.
Drown my sorrows, numb the pain,
Pass the buck and push the blame
At the end of the day, we're all the same
Over and over, we'll start again
It's all my fault,
it's all my fault
She's looking at me with hate in her eyes,
It's venom, it's poison, it's a passionate fire.
She knows who I am as I walk down the street,
Avoiding her gaze, shuffling my feet.
There's no denying she knows what I've done;
She's seen me, I'm cornered, I've nowhere to run.
She can hear all those voices, they're screaming, they burn.
But nothing could hurt as that one tiny word.
"Murderer."
