[Verse 1]
From birth, we,
when the light hits our eyes,
We are dreaming -
that we're bigger than life.
Curiosity kills like a lion
Eating intuition alive!
Were trying--
To conquer the riddles ,
of this world
with a stone and a stick
Is like making---
Objects move with our minds!
I'll figure out,
the eight wonders of this world!
Or the pretty girls
That always watch me sing
But they are so damn confusing!
It's getting easier
To know what they need.
[Verse 2]
And now I'm 21
plus 5
does that make me sound younger.
Does that even matter!
Cause this empty space
like a hole in my heart is returning..
When my lungs gave out
From all my screaming.
For answers and peace...
... But now I'm leaving as soon as
the day breaks.
At my funeral...
... Everyone was happy,
Not that I died!
But from the shriveled cries
of my music!
They say he's probably
dancing with the angels
Cause his melodies are soothing.
Into the house
where he once lived
and played guitar
while he sang"did you hear that?"
He left a note wrote in San script
For his mother!
And it read....
[Pre chorus]
I committed suicide!
With a simple pergression
A simple melody!
That could've saved all the world
from damnation!
But none was listening!
They were to busy buying
Infomercials at 3 installments
To see that the sky
was cracking like an egg
And we were all falling down!
I remember my Dad said
"Jesus he gave, so don't you cry!"
I don't know if I believe him
But I'll never be ashamed!
Cause we all breakdown!
Sometimes......
Sometimes!!!!
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge 1]
So I ran to the pearly Gates of Heaven
And said please let me in
look in your book
my name's got to be there
but he knods , with a sigh
Please now mister!
how can this be?
I've helped everyone out !
Please make an exception, I got to get in!
my whole family is going to be there
he said remember when you sold your soul
to the devil
just to sing out loud
you belong down there!
now go!----
[Bridge 2]
So I ran down
to the fiery gates
Let me in! Yeah i told the devil!
He said okay cause I could sure use the help
because the fire has been trickling down
and he's been trying since BC to put it out
he's been using
crappy tap water
on the side there's
decomposing bodies..have you used them?
to snuff out the fire
He said they're screams
just make the lake bigger !
and I said how about the tears of the Angels?
he said they don't cry
cuz they've been forgiven.
[Outro]
Let's make a typhoon
from the oceans of this world
and make them crash down here!
cuz I can't take it much longer
it's way too hot here
like the South the times 10!
Please let me go
I'm sorry I can't stay
but I miss the cool air
and I know that I've lied
and I know that I've stole
but I'm just ---a poet ---
making deals ---
with the end-- of ---the-- world ----!
with the ashes of the whore of Babylon.
