The Spiral

A writhing sleep
A waiting gun
A black premonition
A crow to follow home?

So here we are again
The fork carved in the road
White knuckles grip the wheel
A full liquor tank set to blow

I'm not afraid
I don't give a fuck if I live or die
I just want to see twisted metal
The broken glass shards right through my eyes
For salvations a bullet ride
Not a stained glass prison of lies

Are you afraid?
You can't make it home
The cracked façade of love has left you stained black
Rotting and cold

So drink up
Let the acid burn
Deaf?numb?blind
Serenity in a gutter sleep
They'll make you feel at home
In the absence of the truth
The only hole you'll get
Is in the comfort of the noose

She's soaking wet
This love's a crime
But goddamn it, it feels good
To watch the fear take over her eyes

So drink up
Let the acid burn
Deaf?numb?blind
Serenity in a gutter sleep
Serenity in a gutter sleep

A velvet lining
(a velvet lining)
Some words of prayer
(some words of prayer)
Such a merciful God
(to the sheep-like minions)
Thumbs his nose in the air 1234!!!

This ship of fools is going under
A broken mast impales the martyr
A blood red sky bled from our father
The spiral turns wine to water?scream

Stained life from this debt
Take my last breath
Stained life from this debt
Take my last breath
Stained life from this debt
Take my last breath
Stained life from this debt
Take my last breath?breath

Are you afraid?
You can't make it home
The cracked façade of love has left you stained black
Rotting and cold

So drink up
Let the acid burn
Deaf?numb?blind
Serenity in a gutter sleep
