Rip Me From This Flesh

9:30 and the light is gone

some would tell you it's been dead all along

I'll take the rain and the dark but it's not what I need

I know there's something more but that's not what I see

10:30 and it's getting cold

This road to nowhere is getting old

Thought I was right all along

Now I know what's best

I need the hand of a God

to rip me from this flesh

They say that time will heal

but that's just part of the deal

'cause when you turn your back

it'll pull the knife

then sink it in for the rest of your life

and ghosts of mistakes you made

can't stay in their fucking grave

They'll always follow you, but you should know

to dig it deep and bury 'em down low

It's another perfect ending

To another perfect day

So sing a song of what's not to be

and raise your glass up high as you reach

'cause you are flesh and you are weak

salute the present 'cause the future's bleak

but there is always a way out if you seek

And so I found another way, a path

but don't follow me there

you should stay, right here

it'd be too much to bear

with that cross of yours already weighing you down

it's much too heavy for the road I found

Cut by cut and line by line

slice, peel and cauterize

The razor goes in then it's off with the skin

and I burn what's left to rip me from this flesh

Rip me from this flesh

and I'd gladly make my way to Hell

but it's so far down

Where's your God now?

Where's your God now?

Cut by cut and line by line

slice, peel and cauterize

The razor goes in then it's off with the skin

and I burn what's left to rip me from this flesh
