Why Am I So Holy?

Without a hope
Without a prayer
You're only in danger when you're in my care
The killer in my kindness
I know I'm a liar but I do mean well
Closer to heaven when I'm raising hell
The color in my blindness
And I cannot believe
How long it took to see
If I'm not killing time
It must be time that's killing me
Good God, why am I so holy?
You take the title
I'll take the fame
Homeless man but with a household name
Time will tell us who won
I want to be rich but with my faith intact
I want to die young but it's too late for that
Your hand's all over this one
Good God, why am I so holy?

You gave it up
Without a sound
Without a word
You readied to erase
And where you stood
Was where I fell
A thousand times
To an island in decay
The second day
Your name was read
A cross of ash upon your head
And through the night
The city fell
A vestige of an island in decay
You are my
You are my
You are my
Red Odessa
You are my
You are my
You are my
Island in decay
Don't cut me in
Don't cut me out
Call me when the drugs run out
And if I go
I go without God
I go without God, but in your name
And if I go
I go without God
I go without God
And I'm an island in decay

Flip/Switch

Sunset invades your head
This desert life’s not the one you had in mind
Had in mind
But if you try to make it right and fall upon your sword
Your country will forgive you
Your country will forgive you
Why did you flip boy, why did you switch
Taking from the poor just to give it to the rich
Hollow men who are your friends
Just one kiss and they’ll have you sent away
Sent away
But if you try to cover lies with cunning turn of phrase
Your country will forget you
This country will forget you
Why did you flip boy, why did you switch
Taking from the poor just to give it to the rich
Lay your head down, Casanova
Kill your darlings
Summer’s over

Daylight, untwist
Sucker to your Chelsea kiss
We’re changing locks
To faces that we’ll never miss
Safe house, lion’s den
Sleeping in our clothes again
You know, it’s all we know
And now we’re living
Backstreet, frontline
Physical graffiti time so open up
And shed your fickle skin tonight
One last shot and 2 left feet
I’ll back myself into defeat
You know, it’s all we know
And now we’re living
Man on the back of my hand and no exit here
And are we living

Wake up
It's time
And you know
This time
There will be
No return
So follow me
We're dying for the highs and living out the lows
We're digging with our hands but still got nothing
Forget
Your home
And everyone
You've known
For they are then
We are now
Our colony
Delusion has a force enough to kill a man
I say it to your face but you say nothing
You say nothing
And we will find a way
We will find a way
Through this concrete enclave
And we will find a way
Through every carnival
And animal
And chemical melee
And it falls on me
