Make me a forgery
The image of a man I will never be
Perfect

Flawless
Blessed by the hand of the goddess
Craving

Vampire
Between the grave and the fire
Tired and you beckoned me to run

Rather be late
Than be the first one to come undone
Been to that place crawled through the dirt

Dirt knew my name and the days became ages
The earth was my skin
Scarred and discarded and wearing oh so thin

Surrender to drink
Succumb to drug
Poised on the brink

Between wonder and lust
Request another song
Baby it wont be long

As our bodies combust
Dust to dust
We know the wrath of the sun and it's coming for us

Occasion calls for it
I burn out like a $#&@ing cigarette
Drawing final breath

Symbiotic unison
Read me my rights one by one by one (x3)
Then hand me the gun

Got a black lung and a bible
I am a wanted man
I walk a crooked mile and I stalk the desperate land

I am the plague
I am the parasite
I stay awake

I haunt you in the night
I am the ghost in the machine
I am the host and I am the leech

Strangled hopes and your broken dreams
Something is wrong... so very wrong with me
Is there a vacancy?

Is there a place for a wretch like me?
Allow me to fill that void
Dig deeper boys

Eat yourself alive
Devour the mind and the body will find a new way to unwind
Dangerous, cancerous, made for us?

Then fill me up
(madness, madness, glorious madness)
Tie my veins to the night train

Be with you at last
Run it off the tracks
I'm never coming back
