We all knew that kid he took his life,
but he lived it well
But surely it damned him to hell
your followers mourned for days
I wonder if they asked
"dear god spare my son, he didn't know whats best"
and if your grace is half as big as they say
did it bother you?
because it sure as hell bothered me.
What validates you
what validates me?
Where's your rulebook in the sky
I looked I couldn't find it.
You said stay pure accept me and i'll accept you,
but take a second look because his hands are much cleaner than mine.
There is no "God"

The art you create is a fraud
and I don't know if I should be mad or just applaud
Cause at the end of the day you are getting laid
and I'm just sitting home writing songs about you
But I hope the best for you kid
I hope the money, the car, and the biz don't get the best of you
Cause I've seen what they do
To people like you
and it's not that great
Cause the music I play is not getting me laid
So I hope it does something for you
Cause the music I play is not any better
I just did not listen to the radio and say hey lets make this song better

You take that cigarette out,
and place it right between my lips.
Pull out a match,
and light it up,
but you only leave it in for a puff,
before reaching your hands in,
and pulling it right back out again.
Did you not enjoy the way my lips felt
between your lips?
You said you do.
I guess theres not much I can say
to interest you.
To have, to hold, to want, to know what you just can't
To have, to hold, to want, to know what you just can't touch.
what you just can't hold anymore
something you touched
well that sucks.
Well i just want another puff,
before you burn out.
Hold your lips between mine.
At least before I burn out myself.

Oh holy ghost without you
Oh holy ghost without you
They say
They say I won't be whole
Oh holy ghost
Lipstick placed oh so right
Hair that just felt nice
without your warm embrace
i'll have nobody tonight
powders place beneath my tongue
feeling rushed until I'm numb
you go up so far
you can't find the ground when you return
pastels broken on the table
sounds blasting through the keyhole
find a true love in art
they say it will drive you mad
Distractions in my head
Distractions in my bed
Distraction fill my heart
Distractions til i'm dead
And there are things you don't feel
because your veins are full of drugs f the moment
and there are things you don't see because you're eyes are full of art at the moment
and there are things you don't know
because all you know is a girl
there are things that you don't see
Distractions fill my head
Distractions fill my bed
Distraction fill my heart
Distractions til i'm dead
Distractions fill my head
Distractions fill my bed
Distraction fill my heart
Distractions til i'm dead

Thanks for the smile
Thanks for the hair
Thanks for the style
The things you wear
Thanks for the home
Thanks for the bed
Thanks for the times
We spent so near
I want all I can have
No time for simple things that
People wouldn't understand
I wont wed
Gave up up his life
For wife and kids
Now stroller walks
and fucking cribs
He hates his life
But pays his bills
Tucks in his kids
Drinks liquor til
He holds a gun
Quite near his head
He hates his life
But he is afraid of death
Thanks for the flowers
and coming here
The understanding
Of my fears
Don't want to live
The life he did
Don't want to have
Wife or kids
