How many scrapped planes would it take
To build a prison for running mouths?
I'm America's most wanted silent,
But baby you can keep me quiet
About as well as I can take a hint.
For me, the only right place/right time
Are the ones in my obituary.

Bear witness to the tragedy when you can,
Our lives breed anxious caskets.
I'm tying knotted finish lines,
I'm cutting my own chord.
Bear witness to the tragedy when you can,
We're all patched up grievances,
So change the channel to my replay while
I drown with my sorrows.

Take everything I have,
'Cause when I said I have love in my heart,
I was a fucking liar, I aint got much at all.

Bear witness to the tragedy when you can,
I'm no good at being patient,
But a hawk with hangman's talons
Will hold my breath for me.

I've been so bad,
I'm a sinner,
But I'm Godless,
And maybe I'll miss this place
When I'm in Hell.
At least I won't have
The false notion
That things get better from here.

God rest my soul.
Purple petals
Lead graveward,
And I've never loved anyone so much
As I've loathed for myself.
How do I marry skin to razor?
How will I know when my heart has stopped?
What do we do with the corpses of the
Men who couldn't cope?

Bear witness to the tragedy when you can,
I'm hellbent on being a lover,
But every time I've ever tried
Has dug another foot in the dirt.
Bear witness to the tragedy when you can,
What I need is a little stronger.
Even the shadiest bars in town
Won't sell me the right poison.

I'll leave an ugly stain
Of shame upon my family
In my last will and testament.
