[Verse 1: Eddie Berg]
I remain the victim
Of this sorry state
This path I've chosen
Will be the death of me

[Pre-Chorus: Eddie Berg, with Tim Charles]
Darkness rising
The devil is near

[Chorus: Eddie Berg, Tim Charles]
For better or for worse (For better or for worse)
Come what may (Come what may)
I can't live one more day (I can't live one more day)
At the mercy of my own dismay (At the mercy of my own dismay)

[Verse 2: Eddie Berg]
Uncover the masque
Into the black
As God is my witness
No hope for the hopeless

[Instrumental Breakdown]

[Verse 3: Eddie Berg]
Shrouded in darkness
The pain that is endless
In our affliction
This is a prison
This is a prison
[Bridge: Eddie Berg, with Tim Charles]
It's the undertow coming back for me
It's the undertow coming back for me

[Chorus: Eddie Berg, Tim Charles]
For better or for worse (For better or for worse)
Come what may (Come what may)
I can't live one more day (I can't live one more day)
At the mercy of my own dismay (At the mercy of my own dismay)
For better or for worse (Woah-oh)
Come what may (Hey-ya)
I can't live one more day
At the mercy of my own dismay (At the mercy of my own dismay)

[Instrumental Interlude]

[Chorus: Eddie Berg]
For better or for worse
Come what may
I can't live one more day
At the mercy of my own dismay

[Instrumental Outro]
