Shock Therapy - A World Without End lyrics

I've acquired a taste for money I've acquired a taste of speed And I don't think my life is giving me everything I need The artificial light The artificial sun Burning in my eyes makes me feel like I'm the only one alive The past is very hard The future is very weak The present is carried on my back like a ton of despair If only I didn't know that someday I'm going to die I wouldn't need an excuse I wouldn't need to cope I wouldn't need to quit I wouldn't need a friend In a world without end In a world without end, amen I've fallen into my soul Into the bottomless pit Deeper and deeper I fall And to let myself go insane Wouldn't be very hard at all Crawling through my conscience Is like crawling through a sewer Deeper and deeper I go And you know I die when I get too old If only I didn't know that someday I'm going to die I wouldn't need an excuse I wouldn't need to cope I wouldn't need to quit I wouldn't need a friend In a world without end In a world without end, amen
