I'm sorry mom I hope that praying starts paying off
Holy schizophrenic sinners, pigs headfirst in the trough
They can't string up a dead man dying free
To forgive is to set a prisoner free
But I discovered that prisoner was me
They locked me up and threw away the key
Make them go away
All the leeches in my brain
I feel them tugging at the strings
And singing songs inside my veins
I've been locked inside for so long
'Cause motherfucker, I die with grace
Front and center with gods spit on your face
I am a lone lifer
'Cause motherfucker, I die with grace
Make them go away
All the leeches in my brain
I feel them tugging at the strings
And singing songs inside my veins
I've been locked inside for so long
Let me count the ways I tried to die today
Oh, sweet angel, find father justice
And tell him I'm not okay, for fuck's sake
Drilling in your holy slogans
Welcome to the city of oblivion
Where it doesn't matter if you have
An opinion
C'mon, c'mon, let's take our medicine
Don't tell me your troubles, 'cause we all had it rough.
Make them go away
All the leeches in my brain
I feel them tugging at the strings
And singing songs inside my veins
I've been locked inside for so long
I am the adapter
A bipolar master actor
You will feel my rapture
They tell me I am the lone lifer
Stay out of my head
I won't take your medicine
'Cause I will die with grace
