Break
Godhead Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm trapped inside the world you sell
A product in your plastic, perfect Hell

Compressed beside your head
Just wishing I was dead

Break my mind- break my will, break my soul
I crumble as I watch you take control

Sell me on all the points you make
Take from me all the bones you break

Forever in your pain

Break my mind- break my will, break my soul
I crumble as I watch you take control

Give me the life I can't endure
Your world is anything but pure

Forever my torture

Break my mind- break my will, break my soul
My will to live has fallen down your hole




Break my mind, break my will, break my soul
I crumble as I watch you take control
