Cold and silent, soiled face I will wash it all away,
With my love,
Thatâ??s all sheâ??s ever needed, from me
Itâ??s my time, to mother,
One of my own in my life,
I am so alone, left with no one
In my life, Iâ??m so alone

Life submissiveness,
Hypnotizing the ignorant a little boyâ??s best friendâ??s always his mother,
At least thatâ??s what she said,
Life of a simple man,
Taught that everyone else is dirty,
And their love is meaningless,
Iâ??m just a soiled dirty boy,
Iâ??m just a soiled dirty boy,

Sheltered life innocence,
Insulated memories, spark reflections of my head,
Duality in my consciousness,
Caught in the war of hemispheres,
Between the love lost in my head,
Mommy do you still live inside of me,
Iâ??m so lost in my life without any guiding,
Protected me my whole life from everything,
Nailed shut the doors to the shrine,
To screen your dead eyes from me and my sickness,
Mutilate and sew my new clothes for masquerading,
Aprons of flesh corpse scalped hair with skin upon my face,

Deliver the remains from her womb of earth,
Prep the rack and tie up for new loveâ??s rebirth,
Covert understanding of novice surgery,
Iâ??ll focus concentration and only take just what I need
For sickness Iâ??m masticating,
Dancing and masturbating,
Celebrate in fields of night with skin upon my face

If I soak my hands in others blood am I sick,
If I wash my hands in others blood am I sick,
If I drench myself in others blood am I sick,
If I bathe myself in others blood

Blame mother for the sickness,
Mutilate and sew my new clothes for masquerading,
Aprons of flesh corpse scalped hair with skin upon my face,
Dance and masturbate in night light by myself..

Nothing is left for me to gain theyâ??re coming to take me far away,

Chorus

Life of a simple man taught that everyone else is dirty and love is meaningless
Iâ??m so soiled
Soiled
