lyrics

Well I’m a shit talker and a shameless mocker
And I'm just a cool bastard I just wanna get plastered
I’ve got no motivation I’m just one hesitation
I couldn’t care less where I’m going
I’m like that stone cold stranger who got hold of a gun
Walking on the beach under the beat of the sun
Looking for the first man that I come upon
I’ll put five bullets in his body
I’m an orbiting stone
I’m an arm of an arm
An eye watching as time goes on and on and on and on…..
I wonder what can I change
By just watching the rain
Through eyes like broken window panes
And if my soul was flayed bare to the filth of the air
I don’t know if I could bring myself to care
And then you said
“Hey!” I think I’d say that you had it made
You’d think it would have been enough but no
Dissatisfied, and tried, hung out to die!
Oh I hope you’re ready to pay!
I wonder why I should be grateful for this life that I lead?
It’s just a claustrophobic pit with dust and ashes to breathe
And you want me to regret that it’s my time to leave
But I couldn’t care less where I’m going
And yet now that it comes to it I think I can say
That there may have been a time I had a reason to stay
I had my eyes on the horizon and to something I prayed
Wasn’t it beautiful to live?
I’m a liquified soul being poured from its bowl
Down the vortical hole gaping wide below
Which god to invoke to stop this strangling choke
Won't you just give me the punch line to this cosmic joke?
Because now I know this: there’s neither horror nor bliss
In Death’s disinterested kiss why try to resist?
Well I’m not gonna give you any satisfaction no.
I know that you all want to hear me scream!
While you watch me stumble to my guillotine
But guess what? I’m being set free
I’ve made my peace.
Now back to the beginning
