Falling out of line
And stepping into place
God will slap the smile right
Off the earthling’s face
You can say you’re smart, yeah
And you can say you’re free
But you’re all in captivity
As far as I can see
Lose your fear
Lose your faith
Know your soul will not be saved
Money for the lord
Money for the priest
He’s stealing food from Heaven’s room
Preparing his own feast
Drinking all the blood of people
Far to blind to see
He won’t believe a word he spits
So put your faith in me
Lose your fear
Lose your faith
Know your soul will not be saved
Tell me more about your deity
Cause I’ve always loved your fantasy
Lose your fear
Lose your faith
Know your soul will not be saved

I see it everyday
I’d say I’m sorry but I gotta say
You’re looking pathetic,
Poetic, pseudo-tragic,
Kind of funny, miserable
Rate it on a one to ten
Everyday do it one last time again
Wipe the smile right off my face
I’ll never leave this place
My whole world’s ablaze
Cut it off
When I try to warn you one last time but you won’t listen
It makes me wonder why I even care
Don’t try to tell me that you’re sorry cause you were never ever there
Now it’s time to let the trigger go and pull the plug
Tell me do you love it now that you’re done
Decaying in a hospital
Said you were finished with it
Said you were so sick of it all
Well now your time is done
You’re through, your course is run
Came sooner than you wanted
Well I’d try to save your life but I know you’re not worth it
Go ahead and waste my time
With your lack of voice and my lack of choice we’re so perfect
You’ll never get away
Get away
Tell me do you love it now that you’re done
Decaying in a hospital
Said you were finished with it
Said you were so sick of it all
Well now your time is done
You’re through, your course is run
Came sooner than you wanted
Never thought you’d live to see your end
Tell me do you love it now that you’re done
Decaying in a hospital
Said you were finished with it
Said you were so sick of it all
Well now your time is done
You’re through, your course is run
Came sooner than you wanted
Never thought you’d live to see your end

Highway Suzie

She got down on her knees
Begged me please
Can you give me a story
Give me a night
She said I'm such a tease
But no one believes
So much for the whore
Who never knows what's right
What happened to you Suzie?
Cause now you're all alone
And everybody knows
There's nowhere worse than home
Highway Suzie doesn't have a friend
Not a lover in the world and the road doesn't end
She's crying in the bathroom
She's drunk again
She's making up her story so let's all play pretend
Where did you go?
Where is the girl I know?
Was she ever there
Cause she was real to me
I guess there's nothing left to see
Highway Suzie doesn't have a friend
Not a lover in the world and the road doesn't end
She's crying in the bathroom
She's drunk again
She's making up her story so let's all play pretend
Where did you go?
Where is the girl I know?
Was she ever there
Cause she was real to me
I guess there's nothing left to see
Highway Suzie doesn't have a friend
Highway Suzie doesn't have a friend
Highway Suzie doesn't have a friend
Not a lover in the world and the road doesn't end
She's crying in the bathroom
She's drunk again
She's making up her story so let's all play pretend

I feel like I’ve been crucified
Nails in my wrists and in my ankles
Bleeding out my eyes
Thorns in my brain
But I’m just pins and needles
Smiling silent stupidly
A vicious cycle
You’re letting me let you down
An uphill battle
No sanctuary at the summit
Feels like I’ve been burned alive
Drying blood and blistering eyes
Coughing out smoke
Breathing in your poison
If I don’t fucking make it through
Just maybe I won’t have to hurt you
A vicious cycle
You’re letting me let you down
An uphill battle
No sanctuary at the summit
Nothing like a train wreck
To open your eyes to the beauty of disaster
Something like an open flame
Taught me the cautions of desire
Hurting like a broken spine
Should I feel numb? I’m such a stupid bastard
Nothing like an open flame
Taught me outcomes and repercussions
A vicious cycle
You’re letting me let you down
An uphill battle
No sanctuary at the summit

It doesn’t even matter anymore
I’ve just stopped pretending
My eyes are strung, my heart is sore
My world’s never been this close to ending
I heard you say that I was not enough
Well I never claimed to be a single fucking thing
And I don’t need your love, and I won’t miss your face
And I never claimed to be anything
It doesn’t even matter anymore
Seems like it’s never ending
Seems you just broke me to the core
My world’s never been this to ending
I heard you say that I was not enough
Well I never claimed to be a single fucking thing
And I don’t need your love, and I won’t miss your face
And I never claimed to be anything
I heard you say that I was not enough
Well I never claimed to be a single fucking thing
And I don’t need your love, and I won’t miss your face
And I never claimed to be anything
Took a walk to the cemetery
In the middle of the night
The spades and dirt made my heart stop
I fell in love in the middle of the night
To a sexy little corpse that caught my eye
When I die I still want to be loved
When I die I still want to get fucked
‘Cause when my heart stops beating
I’ll still belong to you
When I die I want to be loved
Took a sip from the River Styx
Aphrodisiac Elixir
I wrote my very first love song
To a skull that’s filled with dirt
My paramour six feet below
When I die I still want to be loved
When I die I still want to get fucked
‘Cause when my heart stops beating
I’ll still belong to you
When I die I want to be loved
When I die I still want to be loved
When I die I still want to get fucked
‘Cause when my heart stops beating
I’ll still belong to you
When I die I want to be loved
