lyrics

You say I should be thankful that I'm still alive, well now I've got this pain since I've chosen to survive. Everything I say is shown to be a lie. I've retired my name and replaced it with a sigh. I got hatred so hot it keeps me warm. My eyes look so hard, I discourage the storm. I took Christ off his cross and I ripped out his thorns then drank down his blood like a vampire born.

I got sunlight in my head to scare away the darkness. Warmth in my heart keeps out the cold. Peace in my soul discourages the violence. Memories in my mind keep me from feeling old.

Seven pm is an artificial dawn when skyscrapers rise into a sky of neon. You cannot see the clouds, or the stars above. Just stare straight ahead and hold onto your love. I've got dreams of trouble and they're stuck inside my head. They'll check your pockets for change when they think you are dead. Flooded with feeling, you float to the ceiling. When the Lord takes your soul, nobody calls Him out on stealing.

When your body feels like heaven then your soul is going to hell. When your soul feels like heaven then your body is going to hell.

You say I should be thankful that I'm still alive.If you say so, its gotta be true. If you say so, I cant argue with you.

I got nothing left to give so the time has come to take. When your love no longer lives, you know for sure that it was fake. At night I close my eyes but my mind is still awake. Visions got me hyponized, what my little head can make.
