/when you burn in hell/ they remind you/ of all the things you've screwed up in your life/ I'll be one of them/ if you're inclined to/ turn away from the ever-glowing light/ all I want is to see through you/ if only you were alive I could trust you/ but now alone in your bed we'll prove/ you do not have to be in love to be in pain"

/the stereos playing the same old songs/ the same old songs/ but we still hum along...

/and in no time we'll be spread across the Earth/ donning business suits to show the faceless master what we're worth/ from our huggies to armani/ and it all seems to rehearsed"

/gotta take a bitter pill/ gotta pay for what I did to my head and my heart'll foot the bill/ got a foot in my mouth and because I'm kicking myself I developed a habit of knocking out my front tooth/ looking uncouth/ want to hear the truth/ give it to me straight 151 proof/ telling myself it'll happen when I'm happy but I'm climbing a ladder that has got no end...
