Lyrics
Slumlord
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The ground is giving away beneath me
Worms are feasting on my feet
Soon enough you'll find more places to sink your teeth
Something tells me I'm far from dead
I can still feel them gnawing at the meat
You can preach all you want
But if there's one thing I'm sure of
They couldn't medicate me enough
To believe a single word
If there is a god
If there is a god
Sin's taken hold of my hand
And welcomed me unto it
We've been the best of friends
If there is a god
If there is a god he rejected us
Once he saw what we were capable of
Fasten your hands if you want
Look at me now
Are you proud of what you have created?
Another 'dead-head' who's left faithless and vacant
And I'd willingly sell my soul
To feel anything more
But that's what got me here before
I will harness the finest burial shrouds
It's a shame I won't be lamented
There is no grave deep enough for low lives like me
There is no grave
There is no grave
There is no grave deep enough
All my god damns got me nowhere
All my god damns got me nowhere
They'll take my head apart
Examine it carefully
So there won't be others like me
Look at me now
Are you proud of what you have created?
Another 'dead-head' who's left faithless and vacant
And I'd willingly sell my soul
To feel anything more
But that's what got me here before
Are you proud?
Have I made you proud?
Are you proud of me now?
I am all I am
I am all I am
I am all I am
Cause it never
Cause it never loved me
