Life Long Nightmare

(Steven Mailer)

A tormented lover snaps and decides to subject his partner to the same hell they've been put through their whole life.

I can't talk away my problems
if the source is here to stay.
I won't waste my precious moments
wishing for a brighter day.
Holding out for a hero
might leave me disappointed,
so I won't be getting tearful 
while you're just getting started! 

Welcome to the palace
that you built up just for me
All the doors were hung with malice
and the ropes'll set you free
The fruit just might be poison
why not take a bite and see! 

I built this funhouse just for you
decide 
in your mind
what you will leave behind!
I built this funhouse just for you
it's fine
now you're lying
where none could hope to find! 
I built this funhouse just for you
out of all the pain you put me through! 

I can't wish away my issues 
if I wasted em all on you 
All I did was waste my gifts 
To even just exist to you!
You had me in your hands till
you let our love become a battle 
now you've burned it all away
so now your home's an empty castle!

Welcome to your kingdom
we enslaved it just for you
every morsel for your bidding 
and an orphan for your stew
take your time, get it right
we'll see if you survive the night! 

I built this funhouse just for you
decide 
in your mind
what you will leave behind!
I built this funhouse just for you
it's fine
now you're lying
where none could hope to find! 
I built this funhouse just for you
out of all the pain you put me through! 

I know that the mirrors
don’t play well with your vanity
but this isn’t your story
this is a thing called reality
I call it justice
but you call it barbarity.
We never did see eye to eye
on any level of sanity! 

There’s no forgiveness 
where you’re going 
and no witness 
to how you’re getting there.
So let’s have a lil togetherness 
As I introduce you 
To my life-long nightmare!
