We are all just mistakes
And sins that haven’t been forgiven
So we try to make heaven
Out of hell
Passing ‘round the blame
Until we forget the transgressions
Against us.
We are nothing close to hope.
Take a breath and a drink,
Pray to whichever god you believe in
To save you from the nightmare
That you can not wake up from.
So put the drugs into your bloodstream
And shudder all responsibility to a stop.
Fall asleep to public television
Selling you a diluted version of truth.
Our love is never free,
We always pay a price for learning the truth
About the ones we truly care about.
