Lyrics[edit]
your world is an ashtray we burn and coil like cigarettes the more you cry your ashes turn to mud its the nature of the leeches, the virgin's feeling cheated you've only spent a second of you're life my world is unaffected, there is an exit here I say it is and then it's true, there is a dream inside a dream, I'm wide awake the more I sleep you'll understand when I'm dead I went to god just to see, and I was looking at me saw heaven and hell were lies when I'm god everyone dies scar/can you feel my power? shoot here and the world gets smaller scar/scar/can you feel my power one shot and the world gets smaller let's jump upon the sharp swords and cut away our smiles without the threat of death there's no reason to live at all my world is unaffected, there is an exit here I say it is and then it's true, there is a dream inside a dream, I'm wide awake the more I sleep you'll understand when I'm dead I went to god just to see, and I was looking at me saw heaven and hell were lies when I'm god everyone dies scar/can you feel my power? shoot here and the world gets smaller scar/scar/can you feel my power one shot and the world gets smaller "Each thing i show you is a piece of my death" shoot shoot shoot motherfucker no salvation, no forgiveness "this is beyond your experience" Forgiveness...
