South of Heaven

I awoke in the dead of night with a black poisonous cancer pouring from my lungs
One way glass perspective, making myself sick with no soul to be searching for
I black out
My life is lived in poetic rhythm with one foot in the grave and one hand on the lid
I black out
Braided rope necktie - legs reaching for the floor

Death, please just take me home
I'm so sick
I'm so tired
I'm so disgusted with the man I am
I'm so afraid
I'm so scared of the man that I've become
Wound down like the gears of a machine, stuttering to stay alive
Stuttering to stay alive

Death, please just take me home
I'm so scared, I'm so alone
I'm the same coward I've always been
God, please show me a way
Am I such a fucking disgrace, that you put me south of Heaven
God, please show me a way
Am I such a fucking disgrace, that you put me south of Heaven
My heart is my mouth and I'm choking on every word spilling from my tongue
I'm living south of Heaven tied down to my own misery

I'm still gnawing at my fucking wrists
Cold steel temple - hands shaking to the bone
Tombstone teeth, don't you rot away
