lyrics

Lyrics:
You gave me a wish that I took with greed
and now My Apathy has become my enemy
Dionysus grant me a wish
Lend me your hand so my touch will turn gold
Let my greed become my master so my riches will overfill
(Pre-Chorus)
Is this a gift?
or is this a curse?
Cause everything I touch
Turns to stone
(Chorus)
You gave me a wish that I took with greed
and My apathy has become my enemy
With my hand and my ignorance
I took my own
and I'm Left to drown in misery
I'm left to drown
In my own self regret
Confined by a wish foolishly made
I took my own
When the air I breathe soon becomes my curse
Won't you strip from my lungs the air that fuels my greed?
Why won't the gods just let me die?
I'm not a puppet to a master I won't soon respect
So Dionysus
Take this away
Won't you answer my prayers and save me

(Solo Patrick)
(Pre-Chorus)
(Chorus)

You gave me a wish loaded with regret
My greed is now my Master I must extinguish it
This Curse is now my prison and its filled with regret
If I could let go of this monster
A King would remain
A King would remain
I took my own
My soul's left to drown
I’m left to drown
Confined by a choice foolishly made
