And if to live is to die

Then we're all on borrowed time

You can pray to the sun & stars death will come for you too

And the most you can do is make the best of all that's left

These are the words i choose to sing and leave behind

And they won't be my last

But most won't be clearly defined

And the love that I give is all the currency I have

And if to live is to die

Then we're all on borrowed time

You can pray to the sun & stars death will come for you too

And the most you can do is make the best of all that's left

And the love that we give is all the currency we'll ever have

And like a dove she cried

Witnesses would later describe

They left the bar as friends

But nobody ever saw him alive again

Oh, she locked him in the closet

For the fire was in her eyes, say "Amen!"

And she promised not to harm him

But she would not let him leave

Then they found him in the swimming pool

With a gunshot in his head

But hey girl, is that gun in your hand for me?

And with no pause he slid

Back into the void where all his demons lived

Inside his veins was worn

Inside their house just a violent storm

And we told him not to bother

But the hell was in his eyes, say "Amen!"

And we thought this ground was holy

Deep enough to bury him in

Then they found him in the parking lot

With the needle still in his arm

But hey girl, is that bomb in your head for me?

We were waiting in the courthouse

For the coroner to speak

There were track marks on his broken heart

No one came to claim his poisoned darts

With a callbox to the heavens

We phoned the warden's men

Hey god, is it lonely up there without me?

Nothing but night had grown

In the alleyway since she got home

And to the skies she vowed

None of them would ever hurt me now

And we brought this all upon us

When we invited the devil in, say "Amen!"

There are rings around the comet

Where his soul is said to be

While the prisons we all lived in

Are burning to the ground

But hey girl, is that bomb in your head for me?

It's hard to pray

Every single day

While all the pirates sing

Of the space between us all

So I feed the beast

As the meat spills from it's lips

And all the prophecies I make

Are always self fulfilled

And the rain comes down

To wash it all away today

When I decay

I will laugh without a sound

Until the manager says

It's time for me to go

Those were the paths they showed me

Those were the lies they sold me

And when the light is gone

We will make it through the end of the night somehow

And the rain comes down

To wash it all away today

You look so lovely

When you're in my clothes

I've often wondered what star you were from

Your love is bittersweet

Yea yea yea yea

Like flames running down my spine

yea yea yea yea

I'm tired of this on again, off again love

It pains me to hear these words

Telling you how I feel

I can't remember when

I was so taken

Drifting around

Why were you sent here?

To imprison my heart?

Yea yea yea yea

I'm tired of this on again, off again love

It pains me to hear these words telling you how

I'm feeling these frequencies, crawl all over me

Disdain

Your love is bittersweet

Yea yea yea yea

Oh, take these tears

I'm still the mess you left me in

Gone before your time

There was something special about you

We liked deviants, caffeinated Scorpios, & cannabis

You should have known

You were too beautiful for this world

You'd illuminate

Every dark corner my mind would create

It still still hurts my soul

To know you're not there & never will be again

You can't make amends when you've chosen your own end

You should have known

You were too beautiful for this world

I could feel your guilt when I held you in my arms

Something was lost inside your eyes

There's permanent consequence

For the things you've said & done

I've seen you at your worst

And I know you

I know you'll come undone

Now that I've erased you

It's such sweet sorrow

It all used to mean something though

Sometimes you have to play the villain in your own game

I've seen you at your worst

And I know you'll go insane

What did it feel like to stone your brother?

Do you care if your conscious is clean?

Nobody wins when you fuck one another

You're a wreck of a human being

There's permanent consequence

For the things you've said & done

I've seen you at your worst

And I know you'll come undone

Shame you left so soon

I just had to let you in

I hope this song burrows deep underneath your skin

If the beating of my heart

Abruptly comes to an end

Those who knew me will resurrect me from my bones

And I will rise again

And I will haunt you

Oh, I will haunt you

I will haunt you

Brother will you heed calls from the Nod Patrol?

Pillbox needles write sermons by candlelight

I wage wars with words

Drive 2x4's through my eyes

Aging like a church built on dishonesty

I'll grow tired of this soon

The lone moth feeds on flames found where the light can't hide

I failed to fly so I disengaged my wings

And I'll grow tired of this soon

I don't know you live the life you've been living

Make more of the time you were given

The next judgement's on me

Onward toward the final scene of my time

For the most part we got the shots

We just needed some more dialog

And I don't know why you live the life that you been living

Make more of the time that you've been given

The next judgements on me

My next scathing review

I don't know why you don't consider me dead too
