Soaked in a stench of emotion and flesh There were twelve (sleep in self defeat) I saw none Felt the beat of my gun Sirens screaming blue and red My sweet lullaby to bed
I did not start this war of secrets, but i will end Snapshot, photograph You've got one second to capture that laugh Just numbers no names All that we have come to hate this is where it starts The stop and go of our lives dropped The needle sang but now It has stopped And voices cling to frozen air I'm not there
Retrace the footsteps that have dried In the wet cement of my mind On a lost mission just to find A rusted memory that's dried And left years worth of salt in the lining of my eyes Behind these gates of wood and iron I search for the answer Like a gumshoe insomniac staying up all night With a mystery to crack in the name of the father The son and the holiest of ghosts To the demons that you love the most you'd say "play on that organ, baby!" Through life and death I will follow you down to the ends of the earth Through life and death My organ will play on
Now it's about that time ladies and gentlemen Where we tip our bartenders and tip our hats goodnight I got my gun to the left nestled beside me I found that perfect place where i can sleep and you can't find me Here they come They come for me This song that i'm playing i am playing for the world A love letter written by the hands of time Time i can't take back Time i can't take back Time i can't take back Time i would have killed to take back
Yes i am the organ donor but what you don't know See, i rob from the rich and give back to the poor The sad and lonely Sick and homeless Have i lost faith in the ways of the system? The people are lost, but who's sick of losing?
Can you touch me? Say you care? All those answers lost until i found The questions in these dirty sounds The stage is set for final bows So put me in the fucking ground Stay with me i can't do this alone again Shots rang out the day i left They hit me through the head and chest
