lyrics

When it's my turn to die
Don't weep
For me
The chills run through my spine
The slow creep
Of mortality
And when it comes my time
To fall asleep
For eternity
I'll doze off with a smile
And count sheep
Infinitely

Rest my eyes for a minute
I'm prayin' this time when I close 'em that the lights will be diminished
Lookin' in the mirror for forgiveness
The only thing I see is the shell of a soul that's meant to be tormented
This sorrow is my penance
I'm stickin' needles in my arms just to make sure that I don't forget it
I probably should've repented
Now I gotta force my way to Heaven, so I'm eating all my spinach
This pain deep inside won't subside on its own
I will carve a smile in my flesh down to the bone
Till there's scars on my face like I am Al Capone
An eternal token of a failure to atone

Used to pray to the Lord to make me OK
Thought I served a higher purpose in the old days
No way, I ain't fallin' for that slow play
Got my soul on the run like I'm OJ
Doin' 90 and I'm sippin' on some Jose
Won't give my heart away without a little fo' play
Pass the plate 'cause I'm dippin' with the whole thing
You was fillin' coffers, I was getting full on lo mein
An angel on my shoulder tryin' to push me with the proper guidance
Don't know why but lately the Devil's the one that I confide in
Close the blinds and set your spirit free
Blur the lines of who you used to be
Slowly deeper down this path of no return and I've been slidin'
I pray, thee, my soul to keep
There's no denyin' that feels like lyin'
Close the blinds and set your spirit free
Blur the lines of who you used to be
