Crazy Town - Candy Coated lyrics

Now can you hear the cling-clang of
My ball and chain gang?
The sound of heavy metal
Taste like cellophane
Collapsing every vein like umbrellas
In heavy rain
My passion is pain, I do dirt to bury shame
I'm victimized an institution's no solution
A place where you're defenseless
And guilt's the prosecution
Where necks are bound into
Slipknots of shallow souls
Walking narrow roads to be
Hung from gallows poles
Nobody knows me success has exposed me
To narrow-minded souls with goals
To overthrow me
Suppose that I chose to live my life low key
Would you act like you could teach
When there's nothing you can show me?
Don't you understand I'm the
Head of the class
A straight-A student at regretting the past

You see I'm OK now but I
Don't think it will last
Because reality is something I
Can't seem to grasp
Candy coated pain is like a ball and chain
Pulling me closer to death
I feel closer to death now
Candy coated pain is like a ball and chain
We only dig deeper by running away

It's deeper than what it looks like
We never got an equal shot so we took mics
Packed the candy coated pain
In the first pipe
That said my name and the candy
Coated pain is the worst type
You got it nice my every day
Is like you're worst night
The world is digging in my wounds
Screaming out I bet it hurts, right?
But it hurts more i got regrets
But I'm glad I took the
Prize behind the first door
What's the hurt for? Everybody hungers peace
But they thirst war it's crazy
But I'm not complaining because I
Probably would tried better
And if the people that I
Trusted weren't lie tellers
So keep your candy coated pain
To make the vibe better
Now all the songs I'm writing
Sound like suicide letters

You see I'm OK now but I
Don't think it will last
Because reality is something I
Can't seem to grasp
Candy coated pain is like a ball and chain
Pulling me closer to death
I feel closer to death now
Candy coated pain is like a ball and chain
We only dig deeper by running away

Guilty or innocent whatever pick the verdict
Sometimes a perfect picture's not so perfect
Though I could reverse the mixture but
It isn't really worth it
Because my life seems to work no
Matter how bad I curse it
I only know a little but I feel so much
The pain brings me down but
It reveals the rush
See I got my arms up just to shield the dust
Because I lust for the things
I can't seem to touch

Arrest me if I follow you
You congest me I'm so hollow from your gift
You infect me when I cut you
Still the same still insane
I think I love you (But fuck you)

You see I'm OK now but I
Don't think it will last
Because reality is something I
Can't seem to grasp
Candy coated pain is like a ball and chain
Pulling me closer to death
I feel closer to death now
Candy coated pain is like a ball and chain
We only dig deeper by running away
