The Iron Man - South Of The Earth lyrics

Sit alone here in the dark And scratch the paint from the walls Ringing deep inside my head Is starting to splinter my skull It resonates from below And echoes mental stillbirth Crawl myself to the source To be with it south of the earth Compa**ion trampled away I'll laugh when it finally dies Psychosis becomes my deliverance Seduced by the truth in her lies Born of the wrong kind of family Too happy to pa** on their curse Pa** me a shovel or spade So I can bury them south of the earth Usher yourself to my madness The night man will show you a chair Observe as I stare into space Oh what am I watching out there A face, a memory, illusion or dream That's crying for all that its worth Seeking redemption from jaws of contempt Maybe its south of the earth Seeking relief from the bonds of grief Seeking the lie hidden in the belief Seeking delight in the aftermath of blight Could it be south of the earth
