1. Praying for Cancer
Am I the only one
Who can see clearly
This is as good as it gets
And it sucks
When the odds are against you
On every count
You get out
This is really not just about me
I'm doing it for
The ones left behind
Everything will be better
Without me, I'm telling you
I'm telling you
Prayin' for cancer
Umbilical cord
Wrapped around my neck
I'm a little romancer
Just want you all to love me
Even when I'm dead
I know you all think that I'm
Selfish
How everybody will cry
When I'm gone
Well, if it's not about me,
But the way that YOU feel
Who's selfish?
Life is nothing but a race
For the finish line
Let's face it we're all gone die
And I'm just winning
Still I want you to love me
Just want you to love me
That's why I'm
Prayin' for cancer
Umbilical cord
Wrapped around my neck
I'm a little romancer
Just want you all to love me
Even when I'm dead
2. Like Pouring Salt on A Slug
My fists two bullets,
Just ripping through your face
Is that your cheekbone exploding
Like a pane of glass
Porcelain under my fist,
Cutting through my knuckles
Like razors
I really should have killed you,
But I think I'll pass
Like pouring salt on a slug
It's the pain,
Not the fact that you'll die
You are nothing but a bug
That I'm torturing slowly
Like pouring salt on a slug
I am truth and you are a liar
Your grave has already been dug
Don't take it so poorly
Isn't it ironic how you want to
Scream but you can't
I've got your tongue in my hand
And still you're able to taste your
Own blood filling your lungs.
Guess your body has
Become a betrayal.
Well I'm just a humble cleaner,
And you, my friend, you're waste
Like pouring salt on a slug
It's the pain,
Not the fact that you'll die
You are nothing but a bug
That I'm torturing slowly
Like pouring salt on a slug
I am truth and you are a liar
Your grave has already been dug
Don't take it so poorly
3. I Drink Alone
I do my best.
Don't even start to ask me why
There is no truth, so how the hell
Can you call me a liar
Life is a game, and I fucking lost it,
But still YOU cry?
Wish I had a heart,
At lest I could die
Please somebody
Take my mind off my mind
Don't bother to come.
I drink alone.
Just by living,
I'm taking my own life
Don't bother to come.
I drink alone.
Tomorrow is gonna be too much
Don't bother to come.
I drink alone.
I'm pulling the plugs.
I'm ending this joke
Don't bother to come.
I drink alone.
So stay the fuck away,
When it comes to pity, I'm a martyr
You don't know, and really you
Don't wanna go there
Zevon really nailed it: "The hurt
Gets worse and the heart gets harder"
Please somebody
Take my mind off my mind
Don't bother to come.
I drink alone.
Just by living,
I'm taking my own life
Don't bother to come.
I drink alone.
Tomorrow is gonna be too much
Don't bother to come.
I drink alone.
I'm pulling the plugs.
I'm ending this joke
Don't bother to come.
I drink alone.
4. Punchdrunk on Death
Older than Jesus, but twice as
Bitter
I've never been a stayer,
But I sure ain't a quitter
Changing my ways,
Would prove I was wrong
So fuck y'all. This life is too
Long
I am what I am, so stop whining
For the love of God, I'm not
Hiding
I have accepted my faith
Man you look good.
Boy I can't wait
It's gonna give me nothing
It'll ruin everything
But your pussy is a graveyard
And I'm dying to get in
Ironic how the things
I end up pursuing
Are the same fucking actions
That I hate myself for doing
I have free will
But I have chosen not to listen
This is too much
But at least there's nothing
That I'm missing
It's gonna give me nothing
It'll ruin everything
But your pussy is a graveyard
And I'm dying to get in
Older than Jesus, but twice as
Bitter
So fuck y'all. This life is too
Long
5. Bitter Erection
I never was an honest man!
I never was an honest man!
I never was an honest man!
I never was! I never was!
If truth was a woman
Then maybe I'd try her
Cause I guess being honest
Only made me a liar
I just pray to God
That history will wipe me out
My way of coping.
That's what it's all about
So if you wanna
Be force-fed true depression
Why don't you fuckin' gag
On my bitter erection
And if you wanna see life
Through the eyes of the dying
Please take mine,
Because I'm way past crying
I was born a dying man
That's how I wrote
"Dead mans hand"
When hell is the promised land
Why waste time with a master plan
If hope was a woman
Then maybe I'd try her
Cause I know being happy
Only makes me a liar
I just pray to God
That history will wipe me out
My way of coping.
That's what it's all about
So if you wanna
Be force-fed true depression
Why don't you fuckin' gag
On my bitter erection
And if you wanna see life
Through the eyes of the dying
Please take mine,
Because I'm way past crying
I've always known that I would die
I've always known that I would die
I've always known that I would die
That's why these eyes are always dry
If God was a whore
Then maybe I'd buy her
But I know believing
Will only make me a liar
I just pray to God
That history will wipe me out
My way of coping.
That's what it's all about
6. Last Laugh
No need to make arrangements.
There will be no tomorrow.
Just shut up. Listen. I will only
Bring you sorrow.
Cause I was just so afraid of
Loosing you, I left it all unspoken
So you locked your doors on me.
Now my own doors are broken.
I used to call you my one and only
Reason for living
Now I never call you at all.
That's forgiving
And just to show
That Satan's still got some
Humour
That growth in your stomach
Ain't a baby. It's a tumour.
If there's somewhere
Worse than this, please let me
Know
Shut up. Listen.
Cause, I'm telling you I will go
I'm just so numb right now
That any feeling will do
Life is really more than long
Enough.
Can't wait till I am through
I used to call you
My own and only reason for living
Now I never call you at all.
That's forgiving
And just to show that
Satan's still got some humour.
That growth in your stomach
Ain't a baby. It's a tumour.
7. Broken
If my life was a piece of meat
You'd let the dog eat it
You find me all pathetic don't you
So be it
I'm just sick and tired
Of livin' my lie
How can I show you that I care.
Well, kill the mother
And the baby dies.
That's my answer right there
Too little is way too much
I didn't want it
I didn't choose it.
Don't want to live my life
Just win it or loose it
You insist
That all the things that I've done
It has to gather up for something
Well, a life that got me everything
Gave me nothing
Don't want to bother you further
So I'll leave the rest unspoken
The glass ain't half full
Or half empty
Right now it's fucking broken
Too little is way too much
I didn't want it. I didn't choose it.
Don't want to live my life
Just win it or loose it
The blood of your boyfriend
Caked on my torso
Guess I had to cut him again
The blood of your boyfriend
Caked on my torso
Guess I had to cut him again
The blood of your boyfriend
Red on my torso
Wet on my fingers like rain
The blood of your boyfriend
Caked on my torso
Sorry I cut him again
The blood of your boyfriend
Caked on my torso
This time it was more than a game
The blood of your boyfriend
Red on my torso
At least there won't be
No further pain
The blood of your boyfriend
Caked on my torso
Finally free from shame
The blood of your boyfriend
Dead on my torso
Nothing left but darkening stains
No other fucking solution
8. Vomitory
I can't hear what you're saying
My nerves are too loud
So I insist that you're
Lying to me again
Well, at least I'm proud
You really think I can be saved
Don't bother. Don't bother
I know I'm headed for my grave, so
Don't bother. Don't bother
You think we have a future
Don't bother. Don't bother
I only say whatever suits you, so
Don't bother. Don't bother
Not a word
That you're saying is true
One more lie
And I swear that we're through
Trying hard
To believe my own words
That's what we liars do
So I fucked your best friend
At least she wasn't your daughter
It's a sea of human shit
And I'm just treading water
You really think I can be saved
Don't bother. Don't bother
I know I'm headed for my grave, so
Don't bother. Don't bother
You think we have a future
Don't bother. Don't bother
I only say whatever suits you, so
Don't bother. Don't bother
Thrown into the vomitory
Without warning
Wrapped in blood
It's gonna be a violent morning
You really think I can be saved
Don't bother. Don't bother
I know I'm headed for my grave, so
Don't bother. Don't bother
You think we have a future
Don't bother. Don't bother
I only say whatever suits you, so
Don't bother. Don't bother
My own health
Is gonna be the least of our worries
Swallow my own teeth
And tell you that I'm sorry
9. Black Silence
Love the way we die
Nothing ever really happens at
All
Love how we lie
Ignoring how we fall
Sweet denial
This is not
This is not the way.
Where's that voice
Deep in our mind
The one that says it's ok
Not a sound. Just a black silence
Time. Can it go slower.
Life. Can it go lower
Death disguised as life
Sit in silence
Watching others breathing
Reach for the knife
Now's the time for leaving
Sweet relief
This is all
This is all the way
Where's that voice
Deep in our mind
The one that says it's ok
Not a sound. Just a black silence
Time. Can it go slower.
Life. Can it go lower
10. Baptized in Broken Glass
How the hell did I end up like
This
With no target how can I miss
Lust is nothing
But a fading memory
Look at all the pride I swallow
And you're calling me shallow
This isn't anger. This isn't envy
This is my life
This is a fucking mistake
Will silence ever embrace me
Will history ever erase me
It should have read "Though I
Walk through the valley of the
Shadow of death I shall fear no
Evil for NO ONE art with me"
When a disease is fatal
Even the knife looks good
It will never pass
Because I'm baptized
In broken glass
Will I ever feel like I've won
And forget the damage I've done
Or will this fucking lie
Go on forever
I have stopped daring to care
Cause this is going nowhere
But still I just won't let go
This is too much
This is way too little
Will silence ever embrace me
Will history ever erase me
It's been 25 years of consecutive suicides.
It can't complain
When a disease is fatal
Even the knife looks good
It will never pass
When you're baptized
In broken glass
Opportunities missed.
Kiss my ass!
I was baptized in broken glass
Nothing hurts
Nothing hurts
When you're baptized
In broken glass
