Fade through the night As we wipe away the stains that leave us weak and defiled As we collect every teardrop As they feed on the bones of the wicked and the lost As we search the flames for faces without names But no one here knows who you are
Hold on Boy I'm gonna show you something Hold tight And it's gonna bring you to your knees Fend for your life Boy I'm gonna show you something Feel it all And it's gonna leave you broken
I really want it to bleed Do you even know what I'm going through? I think that nobody cares, least no one should But I'm telling you I've been in the bathroom Staring in the mirror Seeing but nobody's home, least no one I know
Maybe I really did sell off my soul Maybe that's why I feel so cold Maybe I'm trapped in a version of death Buried alive inside my head Maybe I just need a second to sort through All of the shit that makes me blue I need to be by myself Buried alive, buried alone
Down on my knees in my cell screaming "God, where the fuck have you been? " Standing outside of the pearly gates Trying to pick up the pieces Pieces of Jesus and pieces of me
Fade through the night As we wipe away the stains that leave us weak and defiled As we collect every teardrop As they feed on the bones of the wicked and the lost As we search the flames for faces without names Hold on
Down on my knees in my cell screaming "God, where the fuck have you been? " Standing outside of the pearly gates Trying to pick up the pieces Pieces of Jesus and pieces of me And when the world has let you down People are evil yet people are key Or when the womb has let you drown People are evil yet people are key
I think my problem is I like to bottle my rage I like to pretend I'm someone I ain't I like to bury myself beneath somebody else So that I will have someone to blame I am a slave to more pleasure and pain All of my life and it ain't gonna change My demons speak to me in my own voice Yeah, they know where I'm at And they know me by first name First name
