Life is a soft mess and my enemy
My heart is hardened and still getting harder
God is a rapist and his victim is me
Well I didn't know that I was a martyr
My intestines will make great potpourri
Yeah my pride is such a delicate armor
I'm a cesspool of low self esteem
Yeah come on closer, yeah you're getting warmer
Tell me my grave will be pretty
Yes, tell me it's in the middle of a city
They say youth is wasted on the young
Well let me gouge out that bitter fucking tongue
Let's eat the old, set fire to the sky
Because I intend to deserve to die
Yes I intend to deserve to die
Well I intend to deserve to die-hi-hi
I am the consummate fugitive sound
Breaking through with all these floodings of excess
someday I'll return to rust in the ground
where the coals of faith are scorching in absence
you can take my flesh in inch over pound
with the weight of my heart which has become an absess
the choirs screeching offkey with musics around
and now bleeding my ears clean, that old man relaxes
Tell me my grave will be pretty
Yes, tell me it's in the middle of a city
They say youth is wasted on the young
Well let me gouge out that bitter fucking tongue
Well let's eat the old, set fire to the sky
Because I intend to deserve to die
Yes I intend to deserve to die
Yes, I intend to deserve to die-hi-hi
