lyrics....

Am I the Devil or a liar if I say I have doubts?
I mean honestly it's just a small amount
And I hope not offend but where the hell is God?
Cause I've looked in the steeples but I think he's gone

When you close your eyes and you kneel and pray
Do you hear his voice? Do you see his face?
Or when you read the words do they come alive?
If I don't feel a thing, am I dead inside?

Oh the world is spinning way too fast
Oh I think we're all bound to crash
Aren't we all lost cosmonauts?
Cause we're all searching for an invisible God

Mission control I think we have problem
We're forging answers to the questions we cannot fathom
Using out telescopes and our ballpoint pens
To calculate where we're going and where we've been

And we all play the magician convincingly
We amaze the crowds with every breath we breathe
Is it all just an illusion or a real good show?
We are claiming the knowledge we cannot know

Oh the world is spinning way too fast
Oh I think we're all bound to crash
Aren't we all lost cosmonauts?
Cause we are searching for an invisible God

A wise man once told me the truth sets free
All the captives and prisoners from misery
But where is this truth? Oh where does it hide?
Is it up in the stars or in this heart of mine?

And if death is the answer that unlocks the door
There are tiny keys hidden inside every corpse
So until the reaper finds me when he makes his rounds
I will never know what life on earth is all about

Rat King

You know I never meant to
Let it get this out of line
and though you don’t believe me
I promise you it was the last time

but you caught me red handed
had both hands in the jar again
And I tried to explain it
But you saw just where my hands had been

oh my dear I am begging on my knees

please forgive me for all the things ive done
how could I ever deserve your love
I said im sorry but words they aren’t enough
I am so addicted to that glorious rush of blood 

I meant it when I said it
my vows until death do us part
but it seems the reaper
took to hell my beating heart

and there’s the sad reality
my heart it is a factory 
and all I manufacture is lust

and I cant seem to get my fill
of all of life’s expensive thrills
but im willing to pay whatever the cost
so please forgive me in the morning when im gone

oh my dear I am begging on my knees

please forgive me for all the things ive done
how could I ever deserve your love
I said im sorry but words they aren’t enough
I am so addicted to that glorious rush of blood
