When times are hard he's never one to complain It's controversial but there's always a way Why do you kill yourself? Why do you kill yourself? Breaking your back to make a minimum wage When there are ways your mother never taught to you We're capable of evil, that we can attest to My desperation has turn this honest man into an outlaw With hell hounds on our trail My desperation has turn this honest man into an outlaw You'll feel the devil as he's closing in You've never had that rope burning your skin Why do you kill yourself? Why do you kill yourself? If your survival requires you to sin You're getting friendly with a switchblade knife He'll be there when you get yourself into strife Why do you kill yourself? Why do you kill yourself? It's your choice but you can fuck your honest life Oh how we struggle for our self control Our therapy is looking down a bottle Why do you kill yourself? Why do you kill yourself? It'll take a miracle to save your soul

It was a beautiful night that night I recall that special something in the air I noticed her from across the room Fucking me with her eyes You can't ignore those dirty looks She must have read the book on how to drive a man wild Her thoughts were loud enough to read her mind She just wants your nail in her coffin I'm not sure what i did to impress But i wondered it's like to be her dress She'd been around so takes no guilt in making me her prey A little older than my normal choice But there was so much hunger held within her voice I told her that I'm gonna make her scream She just wants your nail in her coffin She doesn't want to be alone So why shouldn't I take her home We we'll waste no time hitching up her dress She just wants your nail in her coffin Just when you thought it was all over I've just got one more surprise for you I reached over to my bed side desk and opened up the drawer I lifted out what could only be the largest fucking meat cleaver that you'll ever see No didn't I say I'm gonna make you scream She just wants your nail in her coffin

I know it's soon but your time is up And everyone's asking why But there isn't anything anyone can do I know it's fucked, I know its shit Most people don't like to talk about it The truth is we are all gonna die Death will come for everyone I feel him closing in He's already been here for some of my good friends He could be there when you crash your car It could be a simple as a broken heart The truth is we are all gonna die I will do this for you but would you do it for me It's the hardest thing I've ever had to do Did you live for fun, did you enjoy the ride? Did you get something done, were you satisfied? The truth is we are all gonna die They say to make the most of life I sure hope I did My only regret is in causing you this pain When it's my turn I know you'll cry I only hope I get to kiss you goodbye The truth is we are all gonna die.

Red Light 02:39
I pay for electricity Delilah keeps her light on for me At least I know that every night She'll be there to put on her red light After we share a cigarette I go home to sleep in my bed At least I know that every night She'll be there to put on her red light Everyone around the world Everyone need love I work hard to make the coin I use to buy your love At least I know that every night She'll be there to put on her red light
