I lit out from your back door Kicked an old can fifty miles or more Written right there on the side of the can There's a little bird of heaven right here in your hand I looked up, and I looked back Walked a hundred miles on the railroad track All's I can tell from where I stand There's a little bird of heaven right here in my hand Well love, they tell me is a fragile thing It's hard to fly on broken wings I lost my ticket to the promised land Little bird of heaven right here in my hand So toss it up, or pass it round Pay mind to what you're carryin' round Oh, keep it close, hold it while you can There's a little bird of heaven right here in your hand Fallen hearts and fallen leaves Starlings light on the broken trees I find we all need a place to land There's a little bird of heaven right here in your hand So toss it up, or pass it round Pay mind to what you're carryin' round Oh, keep it close, hold it while you can There's a little bird of heaven right here in your hand

As they search for blood All eyes descend on one Honest man in chains But that don't matter anyway My judgment day My flesh will feed the demon No trial, no case for reason I've been chosen to pay with my life Mad men define what mad is Turning witches and saints to ashes Rising masses marching to find heretic blood Impose your will on me 'Til fire sets me free The flames of hell burn bright My fate decided by their lies Final demise My flesh will feed the demon No trial, no case for reason I've been chosen to pay with my life Mad men define what mad is Turning witches and saints to ashes Rising masses marching to find heretic Heretic blood Please, don't leave me Please, don't leave me like this I've walked a fragile line and I've fallen down Please, don't leave me My flesh will feed the demon now No trial, no case for reason I've been chosen to pay with my life Mad men define what mad is Turning witches and saints to ashes Rising masses marching to find heretic Heretic blood

I've been thinking lots about my life and How quick I'd wash it down the drain Past tense, the future, nothing matters now I act on my own and I'm to blame Living's a wicked dream where things turn out all wrong We're all so weak no matter how strong, yeah I tried running away from me Convince me that I've grown, but I can't Change so unnaturally, demons they follow me I quit running away from me Convinced that I have grown, but found out All my reasons for insanity, all a part of me I don't like that you're calling me a liar I don't like that you found out I'm a snake Been sneaking around for far too long now I don't like how fast my intentions fade Karma has beat me down, the worst is yet to come Many mistakes and still I'm so young, yeah I tried running away from me Convince me that I've grown, but I can't Change so unnaturally, demons they follow me I quit running away from me Convinced that I have grown, but found out All my reasons for insanity, all a part of me I can't count how many times Awakened in fear nightly, palms sweating Dreams of promises I've made To no one but myself have been Crushed daily Don't lend me your hand, I can't trust myself So how can you trust me? We've all made selfish bad decisions We've all tried dishing out the blame Convinced ourselves of our own actions My problem is I'll never change Been dealt some good cards that I'll fold before it's time Can't promise you that it's my last time, yeah I tried running away from me Convince me that I've grown, but I can't Change so unnaturally, demons they follow me I quit running away from me Convinced that I have grown, but found out All my reasons for insanity, all a part of me Friends won't help you now Hope lost, gone too far, oh, oh Prayers won't help you now Hope lost, gone too far, oh, oh I'm scarred, yeah, yeah Demons they follow me, cause my insanity I'm scarred, yeah, yeah Demons they follow me, cause my insanity I'm scarred, yeah, yeah Demons they follow me, cause my insanity I'm scarred, yeah, yeah Demons they follow me, cause my insanity Demons they follow me, cause my insanity Demons they follow me, cause my insanity

Took me years to make my motives clear And the days have not been kind Once a steady gaze and charming smile Has been buried in the lines I find I walk in the noise, quiet employs And darkness seems to know just where I am Mother wash the devil from my hands Pray the Lord I have the strength to stand Mother tell me was it all a lie? Show me where the angels die There are words that never found my lips There are words I'd soon forget Thought the trick was never to look back But it seems I've lost my grip, I slip The faster we run now, the closer the gun now And somehow all the bullets bear my name Mother wash the devil from my hands Pray the Lord I have the strength to stand Mother tell me was it all a lie? Show me where the angels die Took the road but should have chased the stars Now I've lost my own way home Had a photo of the time we shared But I burned it long ago, I know I struck the matches stuck in the ashes Forgive me, won't you simply speak my name Mother wash the devil from my hands Pray the Lord I have the strength to stand Mother tell me was it all a lie? Show me where the angels die The faster we run now, the closer the gun now And somehow we all found the warmth of the gun now Took the road but should have chased the stars Now I've lost my own way home Had a photo of the time we shared But I burned it long ago

It seems I should have walked away Reverse the wager I've no means to pay Toto has pulled back the green tonight, in sight And blue pills coat with such distain I've worn the shades for so long That I've forgotten how to see The curtain rises but who dares to pull the strings I know this may be hard for you to believe and all But you only exist because we allow it I've questioned all the voices in my head Are they mine or have I been misled? Total understanding don't seem to mean a thing When you can't see behind the silver screen, a figurine Can't you hear me scream? By the way of cosmic rays A subtle breakdown jarred the code display A simulation as I can tell, our cell Playing out a hopeless scene We stand to lose all our charm And faith just seems to wane A billion years can seem a stunningly short time You've been beaten down time and time again But still you find yourself at the center of it all I've questioned all the voices in my head Are they mine or have I been misled? Total understanding don't seem to mean a thing When you can't see behind the silver screen, a figurine Can't you hear me scream? You hear me, you had one thing to do, one thing And you fucked it up, piece of shit Nurse, patient 666158 needs to be sedated we need 500 cc Oh hello there, dearie I've been expecting you Posturing the way I feel Is truth only what we believe is real? Marvel the sketches that paint the night, starlight And take a breath before it's all erased away
