Listen to me jesus

this disease deceives us

takes us for a flight

then shoots us down

we need some protection from this soul infection

help us save ourselves before we drown

fight on fight on



i cant release myself

calm the storm that builds inside

kill off emotions and i'm strung out again

i cant escape myself

cuz i've been running all my life

kill off emotions and i'm sturng out again



a little hit can take away my fears

and make me feel a real man

selling all i have to make me whole

i can feel the fire

fueling me now i've lost control

fight on fight on



[chorus]



i'm sick and tired of being sick and fucking tired

heard the last shot rired walked the high wire

no desire left now that i accept

hanging by a rope seen a little bit of hope gotta cope

this aint no fucking joke

cuz my next binge with the syringe might do me in

take me out

down for the count

you're living in this chaos that aint what i'm about

motherfucker

i see you wasing away

you look at me and you see the same

why must we be normal and sane

why must we live this life of pain



[chorus]



i'm just a slave headed for the grave anyway

i'm just a slave headed for the grave anyway

i'm just a slave headed for the grave anyway

i'm just a slave
