lyrics

I wanna be different I wanna be full
I wanna be compacted at the center of a black hole
And in that eternal moment just before everything stops
I swear just for a second I feel or I am god

I'll tell you that I'm sorry but we both know that's not true
It's just me and this mad hunger there is no room left for you
Now you're screaming spirit prison trapped there for eternity
I think is this some addled vision or is this reality

I wanna be better but I'd settle for being gone
When the going gets tough the weak just run along
I guilt trip like a master you pour out free ethanol for me
Soon I'm breaking into our friends' rooms stealing pills while they're asleep

I'll tell you you can trust me but we all know that's a lie
I just wanna fall apart completely let out what dwells inside
Now we're swilling this unholy blood like we're mocking the devout
Drinking demons to cast these demons out

Oh mercy mercy mercy please
Can you banish what's left of me
Dark star's growing stronger and this skin don't even fit me
Mercy mercy mercy mercy

Mercy mercy mercy please
Can you banish what's left of me
Dark star's growing stronger and this skin don't even fit me
Bury me face down under my favorite tree

They say the dead shall rise I hope that isn't true
Just wanna close my eyes and slowly sink into
One long unbroken moment of deep dreamless sleep
After all I've done that's all someone like me deserves

Still I want the last word

I hope those wings you built carry you home my friend
I hope they write books about you long after your end
I hope those wings you built carry you home my friend
I hope they write books about you long after your end
