Cause I'm praying for rain
I'm praying for tidal waves
I wanna see the ground give way.
I wanna watch it all go down.

Mom, please flush it all away.
I wanna see it go right in and down.
I wanna watch it go right in.
Watch you flush it all away.

Time to bring it down again.
Don't just call me pessimist.
Try and read between the lines.
And I can't imagine why you wouldn't welcome any change, my friend.

I wanna see it all come down.
Bring it down
Suck it down.
Flush it down.

Are my pleadings
Loud enough for you to hear?
In this fucked-up world
In which I wonder should I live

All this hate that I feel for you
My one true enemy
Once was blind but now I see
And it makes me question why

Have we become or always been
Just the pawns up on the board?
So be entertained
Try to avoid the truth that’s blasting in your eyes

Have I changed things?
Still I fear the answer’s no
In this fucked-up world
In which I feel I stand alone

All this hate that I feel for you
My one true enemy
Once was blind but now I see
It makes me question
Why do we choose to live this way?
I try to free my mind from
What’s not meant to be
It makes me question why

Tell me what to say
And lead me through the shadows
Show me the escape
Where you go I will follow

I left behind
All that I used to be
So that you'd stay with me

And you've become
Everything that I need
For my sanity

How can something so enticing
Have such awful side effects?
All the itching and the scratching
From withdrawal keeps me out of check

I am fixated
On all of the things
We were together...
But those are fragments
That are better off
Lost forever

I'm falling apart piece by piece
To shards of what you have made of me
But I've risen above all that I have become
Turned from the pain I was trained to love

I left behind
All that I used to be
But this time
I did it for me
And you were everything I needed
To set me free

If I cut the strings
That held me hostage
Would fall and shatter?
If that's what it takes
To breathe again
Would it even matter?

How can something so enticing
Have such awful side effects?
All the itching and the scratching
From withdrawal keeps me out of check

I am fixated
On all of the things
We were together...
But those are fragments
That are better off
Lost...

And just
How can something so enticing
Have such awful side effects?
All the itching and the scratching
From withdrawal keeps me out of check

I am fixated
On all of the things
We were together...
But those are fragments
That are better off...
Lost forever!!

I'm a pretty impossible lady to be with.

Ain't no angels on no shoulders.

The Pope ain't much,
And the devil's just a lie.

And even with your clout and money,

When the Reaper comes,
We will kiss your ass goodbye.

Yes we will!

Faith is so unkind,
Love's so hard to find,
Life will wear you down,
Blind will lead the blind!
Preachers fade away,
Sinners stay the same,
I had to escape,
Cause I couldn't find my way!

[...]

Hell is what you make,
It's about how much you hate,
Trust will harm your faith,
Secrets make you break!
Victims fade away,
Martyrs stay the same,
I am due to fight
The devil inside my mind!

[...]

Well, there's one kind of favor
I'll ask of you
There's just one kind of favor
I'll ask of you
There's one kind of favor
I'll ask of you

See that my grave is kept clean.

And there's two white horses following me
I got two white horses following me
There's two white horses following me

Waiting on my burial ground.

Did you ever hear that coughing sound?
Have you ever heard that coughing sound?
Did you ever hear that coughing sound?

Means another poor boy is underground.

Did you ever hear them church bells toll?
Have you ever heard them church bells toll?
Did you ever hear them church bells toll?

Means another poor boy is dead and gone.

Illness and plagues, torture and blight
Is what she brings
Mocking holy standards, deceiving feeble fools
Is what she loves
Granted with powers, gifted with magic
Watching the world through raven eyes

Damned woman mischievous whore
Heretic princess
Devil's own

Her seductive elegance
Excites your weak flesh
Her diabolical beauty
Enchants your bewildered mind

You damn woman
You mischievous whore
You heretic princess
You are Devil's own

[performing an ecstatic dance:]
A serenade made out of black magic
She has learned to set souls afire
And makes sure that you never
Will leave it's trance
Her diabolical beauty
Enchants your bewildered mind

I would be trouble.

When we had coffee and coffee and coffee and coffee
And coffee and coffee some more
He'd go to work, and she'd take a sick day and rot at the core
And by the time he came back, she'd scrubbed the bathrooms and made them smell like pine
It would be almost as if nothing had happened
And he'd give her time, oh,
oh, and he'd give her time
