lyrics

I’m not like the other
Addicts you may have met:
I know that I have a problem.
At least I can admit that.
Death is no motivation
I was young when I grew out of that
Fear of the ending
The centrifugal always comes back

But it’s easy to forget that
When you’re not staring down the barrel
Of a loaded gun
(x2)

So take all your God-fearing people,
Slaughter them all at once.
Let’s see how long it takes God
To undo what you have done.
You don’t get to choose
What it will be that kills you;
But you get to choose how you die:
With the sun on your back, or the light in your eyes.

But it’s easy to forget that
When you’re not staring down the barrel
Of a loaded gun
(x4)
