god money i'll do anything for you
god money just tell me what you want me to
god money nail me up against the wall
god money don't want everything he wants it all
no you can't take it
no you can't take it
no you can't take that away from me
head like a hole
black as your soul
i'd rather die than give you control
bow down before the one you serve
you're going to get what you deserve
god money's not looking for the cure
god money's not concerned about the sick among the pure
god money let's go dancing on the backs of the bruised
god money's not one to choose
no you can't take it
no you can't take it
no you can't take that away from me
head like a hole
black as your soul
i'd rather die than give you control
bow down before the one you serve
you're going to get what you deserve

terrible lie
hey god why are you doing this to me
am i not living up to what i'm supposed to be
why am i seething with this animosity
hey god i think you owe me a great big apology
terrible lie
hey god i really don't know what you mean
seems like salvation come only in our dreams
i feel my hatred grow all the more extreme
hey god can this world really be as sad as it seems
terrible lie
don't take it away from me, i need someone to hold on to
hey god there's nothing left for me to hide
i lost my ignorance, security and pride
i'm all alone in a world you must despise
hey god i believed your promises, your promises and lies
terrible lie
you make me throw it all away
my morals left to decay
how many you betray
you've taken everything
terrible lie
my head is filled with disease
my skin is begging you please
i'm on my hands and knees
i want so much to believe
-------------------------------------------------------------
down in it
kinda like a cloud i was up
way up in the sky
and i was feeling some feelings you wouldn't believe
sometimes i don't believe them myself
and i decided i was never coming down
just then a tiny little dot caught my eye
it was just about too small to see
but i watched it way too long
it was pulling me down
i was up above it
i was up above it
now i'm down in it
shut up so what
what does it matter now
i was swimming in the haze
now i crawl on the ground
and everything i never liked about you
is kind of seeping into me
try to laugh about it now
but isn't it funny how everything works out
("i guess the joke's on me," she said)
i was up above it
i was up above it
now i'm down in it
i used to be so big and strong
i used to know my right from wrong
i used to never be afraid
i used to be somebody
i used to have something inside
now just this hole that's open wide
i used to want it all
i used to be somebody
i'll cross my heart
i'll hope to die
but the needle's already in my eye
and all the world's weight is on my back
and i don't even know why
what i used to think was me is just a fading memory
i looked him right in the eye and said goodbye
i was up above
i was up above it
now i'm down in it
-------------------------------------------------------------
sanctified
it's still getting worse after everthing i tried
what if i found a way to wash it all aside
what if she touches with those fingertips
as the words spill out like fire from her lips
if she says come inside i'll come inside for he
if she says give it all i'll give everything to her
i am justified
i am purified
i am sanctified
inside you
heaven's just a rumor she'll dispel
as she walks me through the nicest parts of hell
i still dream of lips i never should have kissed
well she knows exactly what i can't resist
if she says come inside i'll come inside for he
if she says give it all i'll give everything to her
i am justified
i am purified
i am sanctified
inside you
i'm just caught up in another of her spells
well she's turning me into someone else
every day i hope and pray that this will end
but when i can i'd do it all again.
if she says come inside i'll come inside for he
if she says give it all i'll give everything to her
i am justified
i am purified
i am sanctified
inside you
-------------------------------------------------------------
something i can never have
i still recall the taste of your tears
echoing your voice just like the ringing in my ears
my favorite dreams of you still wash ashore
scraping through my head til i don't want to sleep anymore
come on tell me
you make this all go away
you make this all go away
i'm down to just one thing and i'm starting to scare myself
you make this all go away
you make this all go away
i just want something
i just want something i can never have
you always were the one to show me how
back then i couldn't do the things that i can do now
this thing is slowly taking me apart
grey would be the color if i had a heart
come on tell me
you make this all go away
you make this all go away
i'm down to just one thing and i'm starting to scare myself
you make this all go away
you make this all go away
i just want something
i just want something i can never have
in this place it seems like such a shame
though it all looks different now, i now it's still the same
everywhere i look you're all i see
just a fading fucking reminder of who i used to be
come on tell me
you make this all go away
you make this all go away
i'm down to just one thing and i'm starting to scare myself
you make this all go away
you make this all go away
i just want something
i just want something i can never have
-------------------------------------------------------------
kinda i want to
i can't shake this feeling from my head
there's a devil sleeping in my bed
he's watching you from across the way
i cannot make this feeling go away
i know it's not the right thing
and i know it's not the good thing
but kinda i want to
i'm not sure of what i should do
when everything i'm thinking of is you
all of my excuses turn to lies
maybe god will cover up his eyes
i know it's not the right thing
and i know it's not the good thing
but kinda i want to
maybe just for tonight
we can pretend it's alright
what's the price i pay
i don't care what they say
-------------------------------------------------------------
sin
you give me the reason
you give me control
i gave you my purity my purity you stole
did you think i wouldn't recognize this compromise
am i just too stupid to realize
stale incense old sweat and lies lies lies
it comes down to this
your kiss
your fist
and your strain
it get's under my skin within
take in the extent of my sin
you give me the anger
you give me the nerve
carry out my sentence
well i get what i deserve
i'm just an effigy to be defaced
to be disgraced
your need for me has been replaced
and if i can't have everything well then just give me a taste
it comes down to this
your kiss
your fist
and your strain
it get's under my skin within
take in the extent of my sin
-------------------------------------------------------------
that's what i get
just when everything was making sense
you took away all my self confidence
now all that i've been hearing must be true
i guess i'm not the only boy for you
but that's what i get
how could you turn me into this
after you just taught me how to kiss you
i told you i'd never say goodbye
now i'm slipping on the tears you made me cry
but that's what i get
why does it come as a surprise
to think that i was so naive
maybe didn't mean so much
but it meant everything to me
-------------------------------------------------------------
the only time
i'm drunk
and right now i'm so in love with you
and i don't want to think too much
about what we should or shouldn't do
lay my hands on heaven and the sun and the moon and the stars
while the devil want to fuck me in the back of his car
nothing quite like the feel of something new
maybe i'm all messed up
maybe i'm all messed up
maybe i'm all messed up in you
maybe i'm all messed up
but this is the only time i really feel alive
this is the only time i really feel alive
i swear
i just found everything i need
the sweat in your eyes
the blood in your veins
are listening to me
well i want to drink it up and swim in it until i drown
my moral standing is lying down
nothing quite like the feel of something new
maybe i'm all messed up
maybe i'm all messed up
maybe i'm all messed up in you
maybe i'm all messed up
but this is the only time i really feel alive
this is the only time i really feel alive
-------------------------------------------------------------
ringfinger
well you've got me working so hard lately
working my hands until they bleed
if i was twice the man i could be
i'd still be half of what you need
still you lead me and i follow
anything you ask you know i'll do
this one act of consecration
is what i ask of you
ringfinger
promise carved in stone
deeper than the sea
ringfinger
sever flesh and bone
and offer it to me
you just leave me nailed here
hanging like jesus on this cross
i'll be dying for your sins
and aiding to the cause
ringfinger
promise carved in stone
deeper than the sea
ringfinger
sever flesh and bone
and offer it to me
wrap my eyes in bandages
confessions i see through
i get everything i want
when i get part of you
ringfinger
promise carved in stone
deeper than the sea
ringfinger
sever flesh and bone and offer it to me
ringfinger
promise carved in stone
deeper than the sea
ringfinger
devil's flesh and bone do something for me
