Destroyer

To whom it may concern I got no better route

I'll give two weeks notice two minutes before I clock out

To whom it may concern I discovered self worth

In a hearse more than I found in this god damned church

I've got less to gain by staying but I sure as hell lived more than I deserved

This stained glass won't last but the shell of this house a testament of my last words

Shaking emotions and a statue's stance

Imbibing constantly as the curtain flames beg to dance

Stumble sit stand fuck off

The worn wood ain't as engrained as my roots in this trough

Pigs feed as I worship at swine's feet

I'll light the pulpit just to see the cross waver in the heat

If you're damn certain there's enough

Angels above who aren't washed up

They better block the gates with infernal love

'Cause I'm heading there, better call backup

Are you not entertained?

I'm not making it out, why are you still listening?

Six feet ain't that far away

I'd dig you up just to crawl in your grave

Fresh out of the blood of Christ

I'm soaked in the piss of Jack

Enough courage drenched skin

So I can light that match

If you're damn certain there's enough

Angels above who aren't washed up

They better block the gates with infernal love

'Cause I'm heading there, better call backup

Or down past the horizon of doubt

I'm finding out they got my mugshot posted 'cause I get around, yeah

You know I get around

I've conned lost but profound in every word I speak

My tongue slices through the middle to make ends meet

Why are you still around?

This temple's coming down

Baptized in the fire of disbelieve

Impulsive enough for clarity

If you're damn certain there's enough

Angels above who aren't washed up

They better block the gates with infernal love

'Cause I'm heading there, better call backup

Or down past the horizon of doubt

I'm finding out they got my mugshot posted 'cause I get around, yeah

They got my mugshot posted 'cause I get around
