The Devil's Marionette

Hello there Hello emptiness Got a fever Fierce as The Old Testament Around my neck Inside my chest Hangin' loose as my faith Oh, loneliness! Oh it complements My own regrets Hanging from the devil's strings A marionette! My soul laments For grotesque content While the preacher man tells me You must repent! Oh, oh Get ready for the big event Cataclysmic circus as his last attempt Here he comes, down the aisle Big smile All the kids are gonna die in their free lunch lines Chaos, he cried From his lake of fire This desolate love Is a funeral pyre I'm sick inside And I'm jaded I'm tired I'm goin' insane from entertaining Cain All my life Facade in rhapsody Keepin' up with the Jones' Blasphemy! My chastity, catastrophe Contradictory choir sings the fallacy That's the spirit, keep it up You're doin' fine, oh Don't you think you've had enough? This is gettin' rough Slow down now You've gone too far Tic tax toll Now you broke the bar Symphony tears Screamin' in my car I'm a dyin' artist in a starvin' art Serve it to me Sorrow, a la carte Passions killin' my soul Just like Descartes Chaos, he cried From his lake of fire This desolate love Is a funeral pyre I'm sick inside And I'm jaded I'm tired I'm goin' insane from entertaining Cain You know I got a lot farther Playin' the martyr Payin' for the sins of my father Why bother? I'd rather play the role of executioner I'd rather see the heads roll than hear the church bells toll Everything's goin' in flames Like Mercury's in retrograde Call a spade a spade I'm runnin' out of things to say Runnin' out things to blame Gonna run and get my gun 'Cause today's the day Chaos, he cried From his lake of fire This desolate love Is a funeral pyre I'm sick inside And I'm jaded I'm tired I'm goin' insane from entertaining Cain
