Flying Dutchman

Here I go again just when I said it was the last This private crucifixion crimes of passion from the past Another day a gutter night of pain and agony A guilty flying dutchman sentence suffering for me But life goes on and on and on and friends all come and go These simple facts of life are what I've come to learn and know Another tattered page confession in my diary A plea to leave whats past behind and focus yet to see For once I've peace of mind and everything appears so clear I've conquered all my problems and confronted my own fears My life has been a punishment until I climbed aboard And time is but a luxury I once could not afford My phantom doomed to sail the earth for all eternity A guilty flying dutchman sentence suffering for me The myth incarnate afterlife for all the world to see A nightmare of a dream an alternate reality So read my epitaph before you turn and say good-bye You've told me that you hate me but I know that its a lie For I've yet to find my purpose on this ocean cruise of life Sometimes its paradise for me then cuts me like a knife It reads: "Passenger and prisoner so genuine and pure A personality so dark deceptive and obscure Never truly free of conscience and guilty of his crime He's dead to the world forever after lost in time"
