[Verse]

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)

[Chorus]

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

[Interlude: Bill O'Reilly & Marilyn Manson]

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

[Chorus]

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
