All the sights I may see
All the papers I will write
All the voices I will hear
All the hands I will feel
All the eyes I stare into
All the places I may stay
All the friends I’ll lose and find
All the flowers that will die
All the sadness I may swallow
All the sounds that I absorb
All the life I have to live
All the life I’ll make at home
All the love I’ll share with you
All the things I’ll share with them
There was never time to worry
There is only time to care

Everything is fine in heaven
Everything is fine
Everything is nothing to me
Love to be between the knees
Of He who sits on a throne of babies
And the angels never sing for me
And the pain of life is a silly dream
No sensation or motivation
Never sleeping, never dreaming
A never-ending sky
I walk outside in the pouring rain
The thunder lights the trees on fire
The streets are flooding, house is burning
Kids are dying, left behind
I fall to my knees and I cry to Him
Why, O Lord, Why did you lie?
God, why did you lie?
Why did you lie?
Why did you lie?
Mom, why did you lie?
Why did you lie?
Why did you lie?
God, why did you lie?
Why did you lie?
Why did you lie?
Mom, why did you lie?
Why did you lie?
Why did you lie?
God, why did you lie?
Why did you lie?
Why did you lie?
Mom, why did you lie?
Why did you lie?
Why did you lie?
God, why did you lie?
Why did you lie?
Why did you lie?
Mom, why did you lie?
Why did you lie?
Why did you lie?
I want to live a long life
Children and a wife
I want to live a long life
I’m miserable where I stand
And my wife will grow to hate me
When she sees the fool inside
And my children will feel the guilt
Of the Lord’s unloving eyes
And I call to God for help
His never-ending grace
Mother is a whore and father is a drunk
Papa was an oaf and Granny was the worst
I held the seed of the Anti-Christ
And stored it in my stomach for a long time
And when she was born, I gave it to the Lord
And she grew to hate me for life
God, why did you lie?
Why did you lie?
Why did you lie?
Mom, why did you lie?
Why did you lie?
Why did you lie?
God, why did you lie?
Why did you lie?
Why did you lie?
Mom, why did you lie?
Why did you lie?
Why did you lie?
God, why did you lie? (No one saves you when you sin)
Why did you lie? (No one saves you)
Why did you lie? (When you sin)
Mom, why did you lie? (No one saves you when you sin)
Why did you lie? (No one saves you)
Why did you lie? (When you sin)
God, why did you lie? (No one saves you when you sin)
Why did you lie? (No one saves you)
Why did you lie? (When you sin)
Mom, why did you lie? (No one saves you when you sin)
Why did you lie? (No one saves you)
Why did you lie? (When you sin)
And it kills me to know
I can’t be loved by you
May you crush me with your hands
Make my loved ones let me go
And I don’t wish to taste of my future
Cause it’s never going anywhere
And the churches kicked me out
For being a freak of all nature
I’ll kill God
I’ll kill God
I’ll kill God and then myself

I live across the street from a drunken, Christian man
And on a sunny day, I saw the man walk outside
He stepped out to the curb, he was pale and frail
He fell to his knees and yelled to the sky for help
He raised his weak hands like little daggers up to heaven
And I could see it in his eyes, he knew what would happen
And he clutched his chest as he dropped to the ground
And his house began to burn but he couldn’t hear a sound
I ran outside and I scurried to the man
And I tried to lift him up but he was a heavy, old man
So I kneeled before him and I tried to call for help
And the man started to cry and let out a pathetic yelp
His home became nothing but ashes in the wind
I could see the light in his eyes have become dimmed
And the color in his face began to drain away
And he said, “Come closer, hear what I have to say”
Where did my life go? Where did my life go?
Is this what it’s like to be human?
To love and praise an unkind lord?
Is this what the world was made to do?
Or was there more in store?
But it’s a joke and it’s a show
And there is no afterglow
There’s no pleasure in loving a lie
And after all this time, I thought I deserved some grace
Spending a lifetime with fucking flies
Flies, flies, flies, flies, flies
Lies, lies, lies, lies, lies
Flies, flies, flies, flies, flies
Lies, lies, lies, lies, lies
I hate Jesus!

You’re a cold, unloving man
And you hurt me all the time
And I’m told that I should take it
But everything’s your fault
And everything I do
Is a path you laid out for me
I wish I could walk my own way
I guess another day
And I hope it’s all your fault
When I start to fuck things up
And I don’t want to know you better
I’ll never learn to love you so
Cause they say that you are watching
But you never do a thing
And I feel so blue everyday
And I hope it’s all your fault
And I hope it’s all your fault
And I hope it’s all your fault
And I hope it’s all your fault
And I hope it’s all your fault
And I hope it’s all your faul

Mother of Etretat
07:24

She’s not dead
She’s not dead
She cries in my arms
She cries in my arms
I promise to protect you
And keep you safe and sound
I promise to protect you
Until the end of time
They will take you
From my cold hands
They will put you
In the deep dirt
I won’t let them hurt you
I will curse God for you
I won’t give you to the sky
There is no one but you and me
And now I weep
For my angel
As our Lord
Takes your soul
And now I weep
For my angel
As our Lord
Takes your soul

Like sweet apples
From a rotten tree
With bad seeds
Hanging from branches
And I feel myself snap
Off the frail twig
And I fall within seconds
But it feels like forever
And I hit the grass
And the tree seems so big
Towering over me
Blackened from the roots
The fruits never bat an eye
And I hate to admit it
But I wish I could be with them
They seem so happy
To hang from the tree
And I remain lonely
In the tall, dead grass
And I may know better
But I wish I never did
I wish I never did
I wish I never did
God can’t help me now
God can’t help me now
I wish I never did
I wish I never did
God can’t help me now
God can’t help me now
God can’t help me now

Jarboe's Song

I’ll love you until the end of time
I’ll sing for you and your soul will shine
I’ll take the blows and the stones you throw
I’ll tend to you when you’re sick and blue
I’ll grow some flowers in the yard
I’ll watch you rip the petals off
I’ll break the mirrors in the house
I’ll pick the pieces up for you
I’ll betray my body out of lust (I’ll betray my body out of lust)
I’ll never leave your side again (I’ll never leave your side again)
I’ll give you all my faith and trust (I’ll give you all my faith and trust)
I’ll tell you all my secrets and (I’ll tell you all my secrets and)
I’ll kill myself just to hold your hand (I’ll kill myself just to hold your hand)
And when they put me in the ground (And when they put me in the ground)
I’ll be holding the photos of you (I’ll be holding the photos of you)

No One Will Save Us
16:44

We’re so grateful for you
We’re so grateful for you
Our lord
Our lord
We’re so grateful for you
We’re so grateful for you
Our lord
Our lord
We’re so grateful for you
We’re so grateful for you
Our king
Our king
We’re so grateful for you
We’re so grateful for you
Our king
Our king
No one’s coming to save us
No one’s coming to save us
No one’s coming to save us
No one’s coming to save us
No one’s coming to save us
No one’s coming to save us
No one’s coming to save us
No one’s coming to save us
And when he does return
Will he take you to the sky?
Will he leave you here to burn?
Will you leave you here to die?
And do you ever think you’ll change?
For the better or the worse?
Do you ever listen to the Lord?
And do you ever do what he says?
And in your heart a baby cries
She’s pale as a ghost and full of life
She hasn’t taken that first step
And became rotten from the inside
And you will never get to go back
For God always has a plan for you
And no one’s ever gonna come and save us
For we are all the fall
Mary, I wish I we could change
I wish we could die free
But the Lord is guarding the gates
And I’ll never see my family again
Because I’ve gotten too dirty
And my soul ain’t worth a damn
My skin will melt and become black
And I hope that I will suffocate
And everyone I know will die with me
And we fuse into one
And the world is filled with godless freaks
And I will become one of them
And if this truly Hell, I know
I was meant to be here forever
Mary, I wish I could change
Mary, I wish we could change
Mary, I wish I could change
Mary, I wish I could change
Mary, I wish we could change (No one will save us)
Mary, I wish we could change (No one will save us)
Mary, I wish we could change (No one will save us)
Mary, I wish I could change (No one will save us)
Nine to five, good at golf, washing the car, choice of sweaters, family Christmas, indexed pension, tax exemption, clearing gutters, getting by, looking ahead, the day you die.
