Giving Blood

The Gospel, distorted

It leaves my blood running cold

But still they say

I'm rigging the ritual

I never said that I was giving blood for the unbelievers

Bleeding out like a devil in disguise

They shot a hole in the parachute

'Cause I'd rather feel alive

It's so convoluted

They're just trepanning for gold

May they rest in peace

'Cause they're fucking dead to me

Well there's your eulogy

The water's polluted

My feathers caught in the spill

Nobody said that it would be safe up here

I never said that I was giving blood for the unbelievers

Bleeding out like a devil in disguise

They shot a hole in the parachute

'Cause I'd rather feel alive

Your salvation's a let down

Oh I'm sorry that I'd rather feel

I'd rather feel alive

It leaves a mark on the mind

It weaves a web in the background

Silently

No time to spare

No sign of the exit wound

God help me

There's no drying off

Once you're soaked right down to the bone

Hopefully

Somebody thinks of me in the aftermath

Woe is me

It leaves a mark on the mind

It weaves a web in the background

Silently

No time to spare

No sign of the exit wound

God help me

There's no drying off

Once you're soaked right down to the bone

Hopefully

Somebody thinks of me in the aftermath

Woe is me

Woe is me

I'm so sorry

I'm so sorry

I never said that I was giving blood for the unbelievers

Bleeding out like a devil in disguise

They shot a hole in the parachute

'Cause I'd rather feel alive

Your salvation's a let down

Oh I'm sorry that I'd rather feel

I'd rather feel alive
