I wish I was fiction, I wish I was fact. ~ "God Protect Your Soul"
My heartache, is my mistake you see. ~ "God Protect Your Soul"
Well I've travelled around the earth and still I wonder if I'm the first human being who questions his worth. ~ "Bittersweetheart"
It's about, you know, how the world is so...fucking doomed. Sort of an apocalyptic album but I want it to be quite cartoony in a way.
I begged God to cure my aching limbs. But he did nothing, he gave me no advice. Didn't this God abandon Jesus Christ? Oh if it comes to you, I'll die for your sins. ~ "I'am The Drug"
But you and I know the seasons are slow the rivers they froze, the wind always blows down all our dreams, the engine's out of steam. ~ "All Of Your Days Will Be Blessed"
I want to take all the sadness. Of the world from your shoulders. I want to take all the sadness. Of the world from your shoulders. I want to take all the sadness. ~ "Braille"
Yes we feel bad in winter. We act a little bit strange. The dark sky threatens me daily. Makes me alter and mood change, change, change, change. ~ "God Protect Your Soul"
And every word that you speak makes my heart sing when it's weak for often this outlook on life can be bleak. ~ "Bittersweetheart"
I guess God has the last laugh. From up on high he lets us kill. And his people die for their faith. And we call it triumph of the will. ~ "Visit From The Dead Dog"
Oh, I'm staying in today. And watch the others play. Oh, wash my sins away. Like all good children I mean what I say. ~ "Visit From The Dead Dog"
God, you make me sing. Funny things about you You infect my mind. All the time, you do. ~ "She Fell Into My Arms"
Bittersweetheart, bittersweetheart you've been good to me. ~ "Bittersweetheart"
Who's to say that every performer should be a good actor? Why can't you just be yourself?
If the world did end. Would you be my apocalyptic friend? ~ "Until Tomorrow Then"
I see my body float like leaves. Every day I want to breathe. Rap my knuckles till they bleed. A river deep. ~ "Bleed A River Deep"
All of your days will be blessed so put on a smile and get dressed into the void we will fly away from here. ~ "All Of Your Days Will Be Blessed"
Once I was a shadow of man. Most dark nights my head was in it's hands. ~ "I'am The Drug"
You pretend you're happy. That you've got it all. But don't be upset If you fall on your knees. And beg like a dog. ~ "Apple Of My Eye"
There's something in my eye. Bloodshot in disguise. God knows I really tried. Making the big time. Aiming to climb high. ~ "Something In My Eye"
