You'll never become some holy being
just because you've got your TV
watching the church channel
like you're waiting to be infused with Christ
like some V8 splash drink
with all of those essential vitamins
you know, the ones i'm lacking
and for that i have suffered
and it's not fair that i don't have the motivation
or the faith to get this working
it's been shot to hell
refer back to step one
and repeat
but there's no true love
and i've tried buying it
taking it
stealing it
borrowing it
making it
but it never works
some people say
the world will destroy us all
before we get out
but it already has
and baby
i left a note on the table that says
"today i'm playing jesus
and i forgive you
cuz i know you didn't mean it"
i'm saving you
like an overdosed angel
black and blonde hair
laid back on a table
sometimes even angels sin
and God drops them from heaven
where they land on hospital beds
having their stomachs pumped
that feeling they called heaven
is now just dozens of xanax and painpills
and we're leaving hopelessly hopeful roses
on the foot of the bed
where your high heels lay
and i'm just alone again
guardian angels have betrayed me again
beautiful and stainless
are now
dying and covered in makeup
and to think i thought i knew (you)
