Whenever I kiss you
You confuse me with something to eat.
When ever I hold you
You clutch me like a piece of meat.
When you turn the lights off its scary
The room becomes a casket and I’m buried.
Someone wake me from this dream
It's enough to make me scream.
You're possessed by a Ghost
And you’re haunted inside
Your body has become a host
To a demon that you must abide
That you must abide
And there's nowhere to hide
And inside he'll reside
In your body and mind
Your eyes are all blood shot
Your skin is turning green
You're looking like Eddie
From an Iron Maiden record sleeve.
Everything you do is evil
You take me by the hand then try to eat it.
Now you’re giving me the creeps
It's enough to make me scream.
CHORUS
How did your heart get so hallow?
What will I turn into tomorrow?
Will I just have to learn to follow
Will I have to beg, steal and borrow?
Someone wake me from this dream
Or will you wait for me to scream?

It hits me like a cannonball
It comes in fast, I lose control
Woozy, I stumble and die...inside.
An angel sways across the floor
Sings a song I can't ignore
You know, these are the words that she says
Please don't take advantage just cause you can
Please don't pretend as if it's not all that bad.
Your feet are getting stuck in the sand.
Get out just as fast as you can.
She says, you are all just animals
Opposable thumbed animals.
Obtuse, contorted and fat.
And your neighbors say they can't be sure
If you’re caregivers or murderers?
Just look at the blood on your hands.
Please don't take advantage just cause you can
Please don't pretend as if it's not all that bad.
You got another life in your hands
What's so hard to understand?
(And then a chorus of angels all sang to me)
When you die… You won't fry…
You see that's just a lie… to keep you in line
Just do what's right… while you’re alive.
And please don't take advantage just cause you can
Please don't pretend as if it's not all that bad.
Your feet are getting stuck in the sand
And never doing all that you can to understand your mind won’t expand by submitting to a dastardly plan.
We’re gonna kick you out of the band
And someone needs to gas up the van.
