|
And so it's begun |
|
This is year one |
|
The birth of a child in the form of a man |
|
Wrapped in towel |
|
Passed out on the floor |
|
These drunken hours -- graces deflowered |
|
Cast down by an angel |
|
She used to kiss his weeping eyes |
|
Depressed in her bosom |
|
Tears roll off her nipple |
|
Sweet baby, don't cry... |
|
Your tears are only alibis |
|
To prove you still feel -- |
|
You only feel sorry for yourself |
|
Well, get on that cross |
|
That's all you're good for... |
|
And thusly it ends |
|
Depression seeps in on a lonely messiah |
|
Now he drinks with the lepers |
|
Losing a limb, his better half |
|
A glass once half full |
|
A head hung half-mast |
|
He claims he's the victim |
|
Strangled by the nine-to-five |
|
And a pattern of stillness |
|
That haunted this still life |
|
Your tears are only alibis |
|
To prove you still feel |
|
You only feel sorry for yourself |
|
And that's how you thrive |
|
Your sorrow's your goldmine |
|
So write some sad song about me |
|
Screaming your agonies, playing the saint |
|
The Martyr... |
|
The Martyr... |
|
The Martyr... |
|
The Martyr... |
|
The Martyr... |
|
Uh huh... |
