My pain... is self-chosen
At least so the prophet says
I could either burn
Or cut off my pride and buy some time
A head full of lies is the weight
Tied to my waist
The river of deceit pulls down
The only direction we flow is down
Down, oh down
My pain... is self-chosen
At least I believe it to be
I could either drown
Or pull off my skin and swim to shore
Now I can grow a beautiful
Shell for all to see
The river of deceit pulls down
The only direction we flow is down
Down, oh down

Its about doing heroin after the fun is gone. He wanted to stop and probly 'deceived' friends or family. I wasn't there but they say he got really antisocial towards his last days

Mad season was some of his best stuff not all his own, but a side of him we saw without all the darkness.. A legend gone, but never forgotten!
