Existence Is Punishment Lyrics
I gave my heart and soul to you my friend
You let me fall
If you could only see what's in my heart
You'd take my hand
I've lived this life as a man would do
Why's it so hard to find the truth?
My faith is strong within myself
I bleed of pride
Inside
I won't forgive
You can't take it back now
It's to hard to swallow
No words
No conviction
I've found the truth inside myself
But I am still doing time
Opened my eyes to what is real
This world is hard
It's cold
It's agony
You let me fall
If you could only see what's in my heart
You'd take my hand
I've lived this life as a man would do
Why's it so hard to find the truth?
My faith is strong within myself
I bleed of pride
Inside
I won't forgive
It's to hard to swallow
No words
No conviction
But I am still doing time
Opened my eyes to what is real
This world is hard
It's cold
It's agony

I don't know if he's referring to a girl or just a friend/loved one but this one is certainly about betrayal and giving your all to someone who doesn't give the same back to you. Much like "All I Had (I Gave)", another great song by these guys
It can probably mean all those things to the listener. A girl, friend, loved one. Whatever he was writing about one can relate on alot of different levels.
I'd say it's about suicide, probably inspired by the suicide of Mike Hatch, who was a member of Crowbar before they changed the name. If you think the lyrics from the point of view of the victim i think it all makes sense.
