lyrics

well i dug me a hole and i lost me a life/and i waited inside until i couldn't see the light/because the answers i had feared have never slept a day in all their lives...so i dug me somemore until i hit the erebus/he said time was on my side just don't cross the nemesis/you know nyx had fed her full of fear and yeah she's waited years for this...i reached up for the earth of the world i left behind/there were bones in the soil and oil in the vines/ and the voices of many moons who turned their backs on the crime/ they were spitting through their teeth and fucking their machines/writing laws to bend the rules and jacking on the sheets/and when i saw the genocides i waved goodbye and died in my sleep...now i smell the blue sky and the air looks so clean but there's a landfill in Dakota where my home used to be/they drown our orphan children in the very wells we use for drink...o i'm walking on the rainbows i'm touring through the sky/i'm pissing in the oceans kicking durt in your eye/and yes i've got a way with words and that's why i'll never die...the hawaiian islands look so beautiful from here/and the tombs there in manhattan can kiss the atmosphere/where the hole lies wide open for the exodus premiere...if i were a god hell if i were a man/ i'd take this shit apart and put it back together again/then i'd cut off my own head and severed limbs would be scattered to the winds...alcohol don't agree with me o gods i fear the wurst it's like sleepwalking on empty dreams like driving my own hearse/and the river could have kept the bend intact if not for her thurst...your naked frame is pink and blue you're true to your word/and the blood that's running out on you will never be returned/the memories that have bled me like a pig are none of my concern...i forgave all my enemies i fucked up on my friends/i got molested by the devil he jerked off in my hands/and i couldn't have hurt myself enough i couldn't have tried to hate you more my friend...deliver us from evil gods deliver me some truth/like james byrd jr. in jasper, tx or john lennon asked of you/folks are always out for blood long before they ever lose...so get that bomb wrapped up real tight strap it to your chest/because gods can never fight their own fights or clean up their own mess/they'll put you on your knees to pray then damn you for wearing flesh...i'm rambling i'm rambling i'm rambling on a song/because there's not much else that i can do but play and sing along/this world would have me broken but my friend this is where i belong...now i'll lay down in my hole like i'm laying down my life/there's an empty grave to my left and a palm tree to my right/ you left me with this time to kill and believe me i'm just killing time...
