Abandon all hope he who enter here Eternal pain that runs among the lost It's the fiction of life What you are is what you live It never made a fucking difference to you In the eyes you can see the truth It's the fiction of life I'm going deep no other way Lost, who enter here Nothing seemed to go as planed It makes no difference with the choices I make I'm convicted in life Don't want to make the same mistakes Lost, who enter here Can't live with the faults There is no remorse for you and me Convicted in life, fiction in life, victim in life
