| It started last night when I ate a tab
|
| She gave me top till her throat sore
|
| I thought I was living in happy land
|
| Then I woke up it was all gone
|
| I sunk to the bottom the floor of the ocean
|
| I woke up the body of Plato
|
| He showed me Atlantean holy land
|
| And gave me the key to mankind’s hope
|
| I wanted to say so many things but I never did
|
| I wanted to say that you’re the reason I escaped my sins
|
| I would do pills if they made the pain go away
|
| But you know they don’t
|
| Popping and snorting ain’t nothing but band-aids
|
| Rip it off and you got no hope
|
| Going 85 in a 65 tryna make my way on through the night
|
| Red and blue lights right behind me make me think back
|
| To those crucial nights in a Miami county cell
|
| Where I realized that I will become somebody not a waste of a body
|
| Violence isn’t the way (Isn't the way)
|
| I don’t want to be, so I’ll drown in the lake
|
| I tried everything, but I’m still not really free
|
| Drown in the lake, we all drown in the lake
|
| Wishers lost a penny, dreamers lost everything
|
| I don’t want to be, so I’ll drown in the lake
|
| I tried everything, but I’m still not really free
|
| Drown in the lake, we all drown in the lake
|
| Wishers lost a penny, dreamers lost everything
|
| What are you trying to get across in the lyrics to these songs?
|
| It’s always about being yourself and not being ashamed of being different or
|
| thinking different. |
| I try and take everyone’s ideals, common morals,
|
| flip them around, make people look at them differently, question them
|
| You’re a minister in the Church of Satan, right?
|
| I think everybody’s got a presentation. |
| Everybody looks a certain way because
|
| they want to convey a certain image. |
| You look a certain way because you want
|
| people to listen to you in a certain way
|
| Anything can be misinterpreted. |
| People can look at Christ on a cross and think,
|
| This is an image of murder, this is violent, this has sexual imagery in it.
|
| And it just -- I think it’s my job as an artist to be out there pushing
|
| people’s buttons and making them question everything
|
| I don’t want to be, so I’ll drown in the lake
|
| I tried everything, but I’m still not really free
|
| Drown in the lake, we all drown in the lake
|
| Wishers lost a penny, dreamers lost everything
|
| I don’t want to be, so I’ll drown in the lake
|
| I tried everything, but I’m still not really free
|
| Drown in the lake, we all drown in the lake
|
| Wishers lost a penny, dreamers lost everything |
