I've learned that lashes steer the ship That there's a purpose for the whip I ingratiate my demons, they tell you that I don't lose my clip I know a man who lives to toil He only exists to work the soil I emasculate his reason to keep them loyal You, are you broken, losing focus? Friedrich Nietzsche on a bender So unstable, waiting for something to save I can't give back all of the light I stole (the light you stole) Pretend I never cared at all I was made to loathe I'm telling you that all I know is hate And it ate all my faith How I wish I was stronger in the end When you see me again, can I show you my pain? (Show you my pain) Because we all, we all get lost Bring me the scalps of every king So that the Matriarch will sing Televise the final rapture Until they decide to pull the strings I know a God who'd like to meet you Infinite hell that will defeat you And if you make yourself my enemy Well, I see your point of view Tell me what you know I need to heal you completely Who are you now? Ooh Stop, inward motion, seek a vision Imitate Nebuchadnezzar Bleed your passion or get the fuck out of the way I played my part, all of the lines I wrote (the lines you wrote) But I can't force you to believe I was made to lead (fractured men from depravity) I'm telling you that all I know is hate (I know is hate) And it ate all my faith I wish I was stronger in the end When you see me again (see me again) Can I show you my pain? (Show you my pain) Because we all, we all get lost We all get lost Who are you now?

You're You're gonna need more You're You're gonna need more You're You're gonna need more You're You're gonna need more You're gonna need more Don't ask me to kick any chairs out from under you

When they found you on the edge of the road You had a pistol underneath your coat But it all started back in '79 Your mother used to work from sunset to five And when you knew enough to know where to go You said you wanted to be out on your own Why don't you tell me what you really want Instead of making up the same old lies, lies, lies? You say you must be going out of your mind And I can see you when I look in your eyes You're always talking on the end of your tongue And sweep the ashes underneath the rug You swear you're having just the time of your life You've got it wrapped in pretty papers and white Why don't you tell me what you really want Instead of making up the same old lies, lies, lies? Lies, lies, lies Lies, lies, lies Oh, baby, we can go? The shadow's taking its toll We're not women anymore Time is keeping score It's the blind leading the blind One can handle lie Oh, it's not what I wanna say But it's late anyway When I saw you on the edge of the road You had a pistol underneath your coat I should be sleeping by your lonely side Instead of working on this song all night
