Built upon this filth and disease Of a life you swear forsaken Battered dreams and broken truths There was a life once if I'm not mistaken But along the way, you got caught in the ride The glitter of this neon nightmare Playing skin to win and picking spit over swallow Losing footing on these icy stairs You're headless - in what you've chosen so far You're headless - burning out like a star You're hopeless - your falling farther in You're hopeless - in everything you've been Leviathan in sweet repose Goddammit you're the devil's due Never would have picked you as the candidate But there were things I just never knew Driven by a slow decay Using sex to fill the holes Fucking for food, fucking for the bills Fucking just so you could make yourself whole You're headless - in what you've chosen so far You're headless - burning out like a star You're hopeless - your falling farther in You're hopeless - in everything you've been Now the sex is disease You will do as I please Take your seat in the row Usher in the new show You have tried your hand Now I take the stand Have you fallen this far? Have I fallen this far? Have I fallen this far?
