Smile of Defeat

The voices would sell me for a high profit
I used to box with bloody black eye sockets
These days all I ask is why

I’m clean and dry yet nothing feels right
I love my life, how about one more lie?
Heaven awaits when you close your eyes
I’ll lay down my weapons if you cry and beg
I’m chock full of sins that I keep in my head
I’ll torture myself for the love of the game
I’ll I drop this on my tongue, repeating your name
You turn fake
Have you figured it out yet?
I’m the voice in your head, till you’re gone and dead

So take this ring and we’ll be newlywed
Lucifer sings, and God wept
You were in the garden and you ate the fruit
You stood by Adam and he made you new
I’m here to break that rib, but I can’t get a grip
I dropped too much acid, and it’s a bad trip
All the measures have never been this drastic
Pain’s pleasure has always felt orgasmic

You’re so high and mighty, so stand above me
Fill my void with meds and an IV drip
I have never failed to fail, I’m disheveled and weak

What happens to the heart? 
Well, I guess it bleeds
You never called this art, just words to impede
I’ll put out my spark, just say please
You want it darker? Well, stomp out the flame

I’ll surrender to the trumpets and rise out my grave
I’ll fly to the heavens with these wings you’ve made
Then fall back down right straight to hell
I’ll weave your crown and I won’t need help
Just lay down, and get some rest
I’ll stitch up my wounds, while they’re fresh

Under the graveyard, we’re all rotting bones
So cry to your savior, repent and atone 
A life of bad behavior, I never relent
Go do my instant bidding to your fullest extent
Make me grieve, lamenter
Make me burn, on earth, and as
Eve reenters the sleep of her birth 
Come and get me, hineni
Here I am, I’m ready
