I am the savior in the brothel

I'm the saint trading in souls

Christ on a Harley at full throttle

Bottled angel to be sold

I hide in corners of the church

The shadowed pieces of the cross

The flock dressed in their Sunday clothes

I seek to cleanse them with them off

I hold the keys to temp and spit

I know the secrets they don't tell

I bleed stigmata in the pit

I find the humor deep in hell

I am tomorrow without fear

I am the past you will regret

I make you think the end is near

Cause I know how it gets you wet

I am what frightens you to sleep

I am the only hope you've got

Scream the praise your hole to keep

Deliver you from all this rot

And as the curtains close this chapter

As the century winds down

Maybe you'll learn from all my laughter

Learn to swim or fucking drown

Cause maybe this is what it takes

Perhaps you'll learn from my mistakes

The contradiction that makes sense

Nail me up this time I won't flinch

I crawl the nightlife as I bless

I pay the whores double their price

I scurry gladly through this mess

I am the artificial light

I bring the hope to those who bet

Their lives for fame and fortunes tongue

I am the shit that you inject

I'm beautiful, rich, smart, and hung

I lie

I cry

I lead astray

I have control over your fate

I live for getting in the way

I love to taunt and agitate

I'll never stop

I'll never change, eternally

I still exist

I'm sick and sexually deranged

Still when I'm gone

I'm always missed

I live in blood sweat tears and come

I'm made of sickness made of death

I am the leach that sucks you numb

I am the pussy on your breath

I am the lines the information

The redemption in the wire

The thought behind the masturbation

I'm the energy the fire

I am what frightens you to sleep

I am the only hope you've got

Scream the praise your hole to keep

Deliver you from all this rot

And as the curtains close this chapter

As the century winds down

Maybe you'll learn from all my laughter

Learn to swim or fucking drown

Cause maybe this is what it takes

Perhaps you'll learn from my mistakes

The contradiction that makes sense

Nail me up this time I won't flinch
