"Self-Affliction" lyrics

Words never heal, deadly unreal
Just to be glad to be alive
Just to survive, turn pain into glory, glory
When the earthquakes and the words don't come
And all reason is gone
And hope has left you fleeting, goddamn bleeding

Like a stray dog
Brought back to the fold
Out in the cold
Brought back to the fold
But I still stand by

You'll never justify
Better, better sanctify
You'll never rectify
Your self-affliction

Afterhours, late-night courage
We should have a one-to-one
The powers at be have brought us together, man, so, bro
When the earthquakes and the words don't come
And all reason is gone
And hope has left you fleeting, goddamn bleeding

Like a stray dog
Brought back to the fold
Out in the cold
Brought back to the fold
But I still stand by

You'll never justify
Better, better sanctify
You'll never rectify
Your self-affliction

You'll never justify
Better, better sanctify
You'll never rectify
Your self-affliction

You'll never justify
Better, better sanctify
You'll never rectify
Your self-affliction

Your self-affliction
Your self-affliction
