none but the rain

lyrics:

i feel him after waking up from morbid dreams
swimming in a pool of sweat
bloodshot eyes, confusing hard-on and 
a misfit feeling in my chest
and when mr razorblade comes calling
you can guess the rest
mix the lexapro with alcohol and 
pray for the best

i can see him now
not the saviour your 
parents talked about

he's my border lord
borderline personality jesus
oh sweet border lord
borderline personality jesus
i feel exhausted lord
i could really use a friend
oh bless me border lord
borderline personality jesus

learned to walk upon the sea
after a failed suicide attempt
and raised lazarus from the dead
cause visions of mortality made him depressed
asked his father if he could come down off the cross
and just go back to bed
spend the rest of his life
hanging round with deadbeat friends

oh oh oh
yeah yeah yeah

he's my border lord
borderline personality jesus
oh sweet border lord
borderline personality jesus
i feel exhausted lord
i could really use a friend
oh bless me border lord
borderline personality jesus

forget perfection
seems boring at best
forget the trial of pilate
mine crucified himself

etc.
