lyrics

My whole soul falls apart. I'm waking up in my death shirt. Drive to work, try not to stop. I'm waking up in my death shirt, and I soon begin to wilt. Mountains of trees turned to silt: a river of your own milk. You get killed by what you do. I am destroyed by what I love. I can't survive on life alone. I need deliverance from above. As we trample cross this thing, I get killed by what I think. A choir of voices sings and fills my head with empty things. I woke up face down on the beach, looked up but in the sun I couldn't see. A man in the waves, a skull and a cape, a knife and a message that I wasn't safe. "Welcome to the Island of Doom. My name is Hemloch, I'll bury your God." Welcome to the end of your life. It's a little bit different, and not quite as nice.
