I wanted to put a guitar on this but didn't know how.
The synth is generated by some dirt poor free sequencer thing for Windows 3.1. I could never get it to sync up with the beat just right.

When you sat in all the cheap seats

It's six in the morning but it feels like it's ten
The pain in your head has returned once again

You consumed more than you were aware

Denial overcomes the doubt…

Please release me, let me go
For I don't love you anymore
To waste our lifes would be a sin
Release me and let me love again
I have found a new love, dear
And I will always want her near
Her lips are warm while yours are cold
Release me my darling…

We wrestle with reason, struggle with fear…
