we are invisible
we can't be seen
we can't be understood
except in our dreams
so fuck you god
and fuck your love
we're givin up
so fuckin what
we're givin up
so fuckin what?
well people see people with nothing at all
and they kill them and they take that nothing
all for themselves
this lack of remorse that is running this
course is screwing with my entire sense of self
what is love
if not pain
and what is god
without the flames?
well if there's a
hell then there's
a hell and sure as
hell we're gonna
melt but so fuckin
what?
because people see people with nothing at all
and they kill them and they take that nothing
all for themselves
this lack of remorse that is running this
course is screwing with my entire sense of self
let's sleep in every day
let's defy the laws of everything
and die and dine out late
drink ice cold orange juice
at 5:43 in the morning
paint the walls with
blood and gold
let's die, let's dine alone
together we can all die alone
bring me your ill
and I will pour them some milk
take them to doctors
who'll give them some pills
and they can be zombies
and we can be zombies
they'll die
and we'll all die alone
together, we will all die alone
but at the end of the day
there is just me and me
I've been through my life one time
and one time's always been fine
let's die
(let's die)
I'll die
(I'll die)
alone
well I'm sure that jesus christ
was a pretty awesome guy
but if you try to shove him down
my throat besides the fact that
he won't fit I will beat you
over the head with my fifteen
dollar telephone
everybody's having nightmares
that the world is gonna end
but let's try not to be negative
sometimes some change is nice
but what's the purpose of the people
perishing pleading,
"please please please please please please please
not me"?
Oh what's the significance
of empty shells of those who
were once alive but got
zombified by a lack of love?
everybody's having nightmares
that the whole world will end
but let's try not to be so negative
sometimes some change is nice
everybody's having daydreams
that the world is full of sin
but let's try not to be so negative
they're probably awake
everybody's having nightmares
that the world is going to end
but let's try not to be negative
sometimes some change is nice
I can't swim except when I'm trying
and I can't sing except when I'm dying
and I'm usually dying
aren't we all?
and I can't live except when it's too late
and I can't fish except for the cheating one
and I'm usually dying
aren't we all?
this is where I put the hook
to get you attached and attracted
to my song
I'm supposed to mesmerize you
but I'd rather empathize with
killers and liars I am not
too good at this
I never learned to ride a bike
and that probably means I'm a failure
but I'm usually failing
aren't we all?
swimming isn't hard
unless you grew up with no legs
but I'm usually failing
aren't we all?
this is where I put the hook
to get you attached and attracted
to my song
I'm supposed to mesmerize you
but I'd rather empathize with
killers and liars I am not
too good at this
oh good god, gracious me
what a terrifying sight to see
to see one's body being eaten alive
limb from limb
it's not something that I'd recommend
oh that feeling of numbness before the pain
it's enough to drive any man insane
insane
well isn't it ironic how you call me a liar
when not a single word you say
has one ounce of truth
and isn't it ironic
how all the people here are watching
and that they're watching you?
what you think you think you know
well you can't really be too sure
after all the things you've done
and the places you've explored
and those whose paths you've crossed
will henceforth remember you
they will not forget your name
and all the filthy things you do
well isn't it ironic how you call me a liar
when not a single word you say
has one ounce of truth
and isn't it ironic
how all the people here are watching
and that they're watching you?
