Theme
This song adopts the persona of a megalomaniacal antagonist—a 'king of suffering' who is 'addicted to myself.' It represents pure, self-centered evil, intent on destroying others' hopes and dreams. The character embodies the ultimate narcissist and manipulator, seeing the world as his personal **'Life In Hell'** and claiming to be the source of others' madness and pain.
Lyrics
**Busted, caught red-handed again**
You can't be **trusted, born to lose, you'll never win**
You're so **corrupted**, you stand before us **condemned**
So **maladjusted** to the world we're **living and dying in**
**Spy versus spy**, you will **never have friends**
You **deny**, the truth of where you've never been
You get caught, and then the **blame game begins**
A **couple drinks, and then you'll feel okay**
A **couple pills makes the world go away**
What the hell, you'll die anyway, and you'll say
I'm a **disease**, and I'm **addicted to myself**
I'm **all I need**, I'm gonna **live and die in hell**, ha!
**No fingerprints**, you **erased you exist**
**Kill or be killed**, how you get your **kicks**
**Over, and over, you just couldn't resist**
A **couple drinks, and then you'll feel okay**
A **couple pills makes the world go away**
What the hell, you'll die anyway, and you'll say
I'm a **disease**, and I'm **addicted to myself**
I'm **all I need**, I'm gonna **live and die in hell**
Only a **fool would do what you've done**
You **lie, you steal, and you cheat everyone**
When your **caught in your most despicable deed**
You **plead the caught for diplomatic immunity**
You may be **eloquent with your savoir fare**
But each time the smoke clears, **another body's there**
You've had more than your share of good advice
There's nothing left to say, now, except **have a life**
Their faces **haunt your dreams, each, and every night**
When it gets too much, in your ring there's **cyanide**
Now everything fades out, and you **depart just like a ghost**
The **devil says, welcome to hell, I will be your host**
There's no reason left to say goodbye
There's no reason left to live or die
**Judgment's waiting, it's the end of the line**
Your **existence and this twisted game**
The definition of **criminally insane**
It won't be long until you **do it again**, you'll see
I'm a **disease** (life in hell)
I'm **all I need** (die in hell)
I'm a **disease** (life in hell)
I'm **all I need** (die in hell)
I'm a **disease** (life in hell)
I'm **all I need** (die in hell)
I'm a **disease** (life in hell)
I'm **all I need** (die in hell)
