I sold my sanity for an angel...

And all i got was you and some medication

Broken, tired my heart is bleeding tears
Saturating my soul I found this misery
At the bottom of a bottle and my escape
At the wrong end of the barrel of a gun
Why don't you just kill me, bring me down
Like I know you're dying to
Can't you just destroy me

Burn my bones up on your altar
Spill my blood before your idols
Black magic has always been your specialty
Steal my soul hide it with the heart
That you tore from me and broke with bleeding hands
Now bind my corpse with cords of steel
And dance! Dance! Over my bruised body

Your broken off stiletto heels protruding from my chest
Now try your best to bring me back to life
Pick your garments up off the floor you were never here
Leave only footprints and take nothing
Nothing but the smell of gasoline on photographed memories

Cut my wrists with your long, fake nails
I hope you break every last one on my ungrateful veins
And I'll make sure I stain your skin blood-red
I'm tired of being nothing but your slave
Can't you just make me a blood-stained gravestone
And another niche in your belt

You lay me down upon your bed with the sword in my throat
And these bloodied sheets under my dying bones
Bury me along with that demon who struck my heart of stone
And drove your knife right through my gasping lungs

My beautiful Gethsemane won't you let me bow before you
Watch the blood pour out of my chest
Take out my heart with your broken fingers
And give me back suicide inside that cracked glass jar
And let me take my drugs in peace so they can bring me back to life

Tonight we will clink our glasses together in toast
In the deepest circle of Hell reserved for mutineers
If I could die here without the heartbreak
I would be rotting now in box under a crucifix and an epitaph
And your laughing viper-mouth spitting bloody venom on my grave
But now I'm dragging you down with me
And this heart-broken fool is going to burn with you
