lyrics

I think I'm losing my mind
All my friends have died to me
I can feel the cool wind feel my hot blood flow
The planet that I'm on is too small for my world
I'll probably end up alone but that's alright with me
I mostly find that people crab and when they don't they shark
I find most people end where my beginning starts

And I'm smoking joints and drinkin' black coffee from a truck stop cup
Singing to myself about the woes of the world, but who can sing alone when life's a dirge?

I think I'll take a trip and lose my mind for a little while if I can
There's things I'll never forget but still I'll try to subside
The way my baby killed me when she said goodbye
Cause I'm all alone and it's nothing new
Maybe I'm just a stone upon where travelers step
And mine is time and it doesn't forgive

Cause I'm smoking joints and drinkin' black coffee from a truck stop cup
Singing to myself as I ride out this purge, but who can sing alone when life's a dirge?

Well I don't want to die on my hands and knees
Believing in a man who don't believe in me
I don't want to die behind a church pew with some old Holy roller telling me What I got to do

Do the crucifixion
Do the crucifixion

Watch the men toil all damn day for a spit of land and an early grave

Do the crucifixion
Do the crucifixion

Do the crucifixion
Do the crucifixion
Do the crucifixion

Do the crucifixion
Do the crucifixion
