All I am is all I'll ever be
Just another stranger's face upon your screen

Seizing up 'til the bones break and snap through my skin
Reveals there's nothing within
A lie, no trace of a soul
Closing my eyes, praying for no tomorrow
Recluse, block out the sun
No sense of regret for what I've become
Ghost, a whisper
Lost, I'm drowning in wasted time
Tried my best to overcome, but nothing came to mind
And I never used to believe when they told me that the devil makes work for
Idle hands breaking down 'til there's nothing left of me (Idle hands)
All I am is all I'll ever be
Just an idle failure placed for the world to see
