The Measure

歌詞

Fuck, again, I wanna be a man But I love all the sin and the cigarette ash Black lips, amen, I wanna 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 can be the sun I can see the li-i-i-i-i-ights, li-i-i-i-i-ights Flickerin' above your sanctuary Gui-i-i-i-i-ide, gui-i-i-i-i-ide Cildren of the night into the vultures' den Fluorescent white light 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, six o'clock stimulants I need my medication; pump it in my veins, doctor Am I an actor? (Alright) My stage fallin' 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 (We're dancin' underground) Tried to find God but we're runnin' outta time (We're dancin' underground) Never really thought that I could trust you (We're dancin' underground) 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 ma-man Who used to believe in something? Used to believe I'd change-cha-change I can't remember why Now I can't find the ti-ti-time Fire behind my eyes
