Welcome me home, a stone now, as you lower me with chain
(Watching life go as it flashes)
Said prayers for me so I didn’t go down to eternal flame
(Ashes to ashes)
The pipes were calling out to me
Just like it was always meant to be
But what you fail to see
Is life down here’s a luxury
‘Cause all the pain and jealousy
Is everything I thought it’d be
I’ve never felt this good before
(Never wandered too far from the tree)
Emotions rampant to explore
(Always been a slave of love and Christianity)
Don’t say an Ave, I’ve already arrived
So don’t you fear, let’s just be clear
I may be dead to you, but baby I’m alive
Caught up inside; these walls they say bury me in red
(Blood of my enemies)
A change of sheets; a break from those lies we built in bed
(All built up for centuries)
My body primed up for decay
Will rise as strong from Hell’s domain
My eyes turned fifty shades
Of gla** as sharp as razor blades
My heart inside; a barricade
Protected from your masquerade
I’ve never felt this good before
(Never wandered too far from the tree)
Emotions rampant to explore
(Always been a slave of love and Christianity)
Don’t say an Ave, I’ve already arrived
So don’t you fear, let’s just be clear
I may be dead to you, but baby I’m alive
Wouldn’t it just be disappointing?
God rejected his anointing
On a son he called by name
Some daddy issues, what a shame
I’ll take this cross they offered me
And raise it for them all to see
This throw-away society
Has given up all hope on me
Keep your prayers at home I’m alright
My weakness traps me from life on the other side
Freedom from this prison just a confession away
But my skin it longs for warmth that puts my sins out on display
So break the chains and shackles that have
Trapped you unto me
Don’t make yourself believe in fairy
Tales of love and
Optimistic fantasy
I’ve never felt this good before
(Never wandered too far from the tree)
Emotions rampant to explore
(Always been a slave of love and Christianity)
Don’t say an Ave, I’ve already arrived
So don’t you fear, let’s just be clear
Mistakes in life rewarded here
I’d wipe away that burning tear
I may be dead to you, but baby I’m alive
