The elixir of life

Stuck in a fourth dimension watching life pass by
‘cause i swallowed the bait they said enhanced my philosophy
the flesh once mine obeys somebody else
i lost my soul for thirteen minutes of fancied joy
I have to inject what i no longer possess
‘cause this corpse excretes my vitality
i'm yearning for life while fighting death in a struggle you lose when joining in
and i've got just one reason to exist in a world of just one color
The clammy presence of myself
is the devil looking out my eyes
he has made me very very sentimental
set me free! i never knew the extent of this sacrifice
‘cause i was just another searcher
mislead to believe in the elixir of life
And what i thought was a bargain turned out a theft
that i bound myself to pay off forever
the price is still rising with retroactive effect
and my agony has been raising time ever since
And there are no more pangs of love
no more weeding the garden
or intellectual debating
‘cause it all comes to an end after the elixir of life
No more weeding the garden
no more weeding the garden
no more weeding the garden
I threw myself into fathomless emptiness
in the attempt to escape my innocent weariness....
....just for some borrowed time
‘cause i was just another searcher
mislead to believe in the elixir of life
