"Death For My Birthday"
CAPO1
Let me guide y
ou through the
story of a bo
y and his curs
e
Tiny diamond i
n his stroller
with his firs
t step chasing
the hearse
Sippin' at a cup that's half way filled
But looking forward to the day he pays that drinking bill
There's no peace, there's no quiet on this earth
He confided, nestled tightly in that womb beneath the dirt
Hurt no more and when he turned 24
He wrote a note to nail to God's front door that said
I want death
Death for my b
irthday
I want death
Death in the w
orst way
I want death
Death for my b
irthday
Don't get me w
rong cause..
I love life
But life has a
boyfriend
Bless my soul
I'm out to des
troy them
I want death
Death for my b
irthday
For my birthda
y
From the high
paying job and
the love of h
is life
He rode a roller coaster ride of lust on their wedding night
They made a baby in unmentionable ways
He was ungrateful as a man could be on that blessed day
And underneath he thought this is all a phase
Just a blip in the existence of a structure vast and great
Pray each night to his cross of a charm
For the one thing he couldn't afford just to buy the farm
I want death
Death for my b
irthday
I want death
Death in the w
orst way
I want death
Death for my b
irthday
Don't get me w
rong cause..
I love life
But life has a
boyfriend
Bless my soul
I'm out to des
troy them
I want death
Death for my b
irthday
For my birthda
y
I'll never los
e another frie
nd again
Or watch them
start a war th
at's fought fo
r ideals that
are dead
I'll never hav
e an argument
again
Because my dus
t
will be your s
alt
My blood will
hydrate you of
f
My heart will
be your meal
And I won't ri
de the cycle o
f the way it k
ills to think
and feel
No more, no
I want death
Death for my b
irthday
I want death
Death in the w
orst way
I want death
Death for my b
irthday
Don't get me w
rong cause..
I love life
But life has a
boyfriend
Bless my soul
I'm out to des
troy them
I want death
Death for my b
irthday
For my birthda
y
One sweet day
his heart ceas
ed to beat
He fell so fas
t beneath all
our feet
Through bugs a
nd snakes
Last words he
had to say wer
e
Help me claw m
y way to the s
urface
Oh sweet lord
you know I des
erve this
Just one more,
just one more
birthday
