oh give me something that I can take 
				      I've succumb to the violence 
				      rejoice contorted in my mistakes
				      my own bay of pig in silence 
				      I've anointed the rage again 
				      strapped on the feed bag of failure 
				      no blessing be to all my friends 
				      no sedatives can curb this anger
you looking at you
looking at me
looking at you
sip six cups of winter's sun 
				      stitch my mouth with power lines 
				      crushed beneath harm and scum 
				      bath in the blood of all my crimes 
				      pound Christ's nails in both my sides 
				      nurture black blisters around my heart 
				      it's my pain and I will cherish it 
				      I've learned lo revel in my disregard
you looking at you
looking at me
looking at you
I'll hail the madness so divine 
				      Cut my limbs and take a dive 
				      into your mass of joy and fear 
				      all hail the king who's lonesome and broke
				      and wears the crown so tight he starts to choke
				      all desires to be free 
				      we better burn up the throne 
				      burn up the throne 
				      and manifest destiny
