The Measure

Fuck, Again I want to be a man But I love all the sin and the cigarette ash Black lips, Amen I want to be a saint But I love all the darkness, lights just burn my skin Let me in, let me in I can make em understand, I can be your favorite Lover, under all the blood and cement I know I can be the sun, I can see the lights Lights Flickering above your sanctuary Guide Guide children of the night into the vultures den Fluorescent twilight beams through window frames to lie to mankind Deaf, dumb and blind, all fall in line, in time to worship the sun But it's cold outside Won't you come in? What is the measure of a man who Used to believe in something, used to believe I'd change everything but I can't remember why Now I can't find the time to light this fire behind my eyes Oh, what's to show A million-and-one love-lost souls? You wanted control But we both know We'll thrive where you can't see the lights Drug obsessed, 6 o'clock, stimulants I need my medication Pump it in my veins, doctor Am I an actor? My stage falling apart But I can't see the sun, I can feel my heart Oh, what's to show A million-and-one love-lost souls? You wanted control But we both know We'll thrive where you can't see the lights Never been alive a day in my life Tried to find god but we're running out of time (We're dancing underground) Never really thought that I could trust you Come to find out that's all that I can do I want to die Spill my life-force, watch it drain out of my veins I'm to blame Pain derived from my self-righteous poetry I want to die Spill my life-force, watch it drain out of my veins I'm to blame Pain derived from my self-righteous poetry What is the measure of a man (man) who Used to believe in something, used to believe I'd change Cha-cha-change I can't remember why Now I can't find the ti-ti-ti-time Fire behind my eyes
