lyrics

No sense of me. Who's that?
Don't waste your breath.
I'm dead.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Anything to get by, I will touch.
To be honest, I like it rough - and I'll risk my life for the high, and um...
I don't know what's been up. I've succumbed to all that they find corrupt.
I am Dying...
to my old self.
I have known Hell,
Come to this Hotel and...
Forget what it's like on the outside.
Feel death from the life that we now hide in.

(Hook):
God isn't love. God is drugs. I am on my knees...
Praying that you give me the strength I so often need.
Calling me up, Black Birds fly and follow me.
We have no hope. We have no soul. (x2)

Saw my face in the rear-view. Didn't recognize what I saw there.
I'm petrified that I've lost care. I'm dead inside and uncalm, staring at a corpse.
Where was I before? Rarely am I sure...
I don't know who I am.
I am Dying...
Who is my old self?
I've never known well.
Come to this Hotel and...
Forget what it's like on the outside.
Feel death until we've found life.
French-kissed that freak with its mouth wide. Set-tripped, but it seems that my crowd's fine.
Stepped into the scene for the foul times. I just won't flee to the outside.
Threw up. I did too much - but, I'm in too deep. Never quit too soon.
Get rid of this muck, then I get in the whip to get lit again, 'cause...
It's dedication or something. Medication to function.
Escalation from dungeons. Quick-escape with a substance.
It's disgraceful to some, though this shit saved me from crumblin'...
Forget what it's like on the outside.
Feel life from the death that we now hide in.

(Hook):
God isn't love. God is drugs. I am on my knees...
Praying that you give me the strength I so often need.
Calling me up. Black Birds fly and follow me.
We have no hope. We have no soul. (x2)

(Bridge)

Normality is crippling. I want to feel something else.
Free me from these Waking-State Chains. Screw my fucking health.
God isn't Love. God is Drugs. Grab the bottles from the shelf...
