Lyrics

I’m doomed! I’m doomed! - I’m self-consumed I’m self-consumed - I’m doomed. I’m doomed! I’m doomed! - I’m self-consumed I’m doomed! I’m doomed! I’m doomed! My past is consuming me My future is history I really need to return To normality Find reality Within the present To make history Irrelevant… but worthy The past does unnerve me Words haunt me Premonitions taunt me It was what I wrote These words I can’t unquote But were they true, really? I’m doomed! I’m doomed! I’m self-consumed I’m doomed! I’m doomed! I’m self-consumed. Don’t know when to end Or where to begin I’m too self-consumed There ain’t enough room within For me or anyone else Outside – what I want will never be Because the future is haunted By my history. I’m doomed! I’m doomed! I’m self-consumed I’m doomed! I’m doomed! I’m self-consumed. I want perfection But I’m not I constantly try But never succeed Time is short I want to achieve What can’t be bought… But can be believed. I’m doomed! I’m doomed! I’m self-consumed I’m doomed! I’m doomed! I’m self-consumed. My future is history My history’s the future Everything is present But I’m not here Where I could be Missing what I missed I’m lost in the future ‘Coz I’m wrapped in the past. I’m doomed! I’m doomed! I’m self-consumed I’m doomed! I’m doomed! I’m self-consumed. I’m a man on a mission With a vision, with a task A decision, a collision With my thoughts from the past I gather and collect But in retrospect Gotta keep a perspective And not be neglective To the present, in essence Be true – normal tasks I’ve gotta do Still – can’t let them over-shadow My life as a husband With a wife But gotta make my past Prosper my future life. I’m doomed! I’m doomed! I’m self-consumed I’m doomed! I’m doomed! I’m self-consumed. But some of the things I do, I’ve gotta do But in time lock the gloom away in a room So the brighter side can shine, in time And hopefully before long, it’ll happen soon.
