I'm not the animal I used to be
but you shouldn't speak ill of the dead
I've never been just one of the boys
I've never hidden guns under the bed
I feel like Jesus, I feel betrayed
and you know damn well that I feel crucified
assassination, shot full of vitriol
there's so many more heroic ways to die
I close my eyes and I start to drift away
I close my eyes and I start to sway
Lie back and think of England I'll just fake it some more
a carrion feast for the ravens and the crows
I know my price and I'll be your whore
and I don't care if the whole damn world knows
I feel so jaded, so tired and so worn
I feel like I've got nothing left to say
I'll be a martyr, a brave little soldier
'cos there's so many demons left to purge and slay
I close my eyes and I start to drift away
I close my eyes and I start to sway
Trapped in the eye of a hurricane
takin' a ride on a runaway train
behind the wheel of a crashing car
caught in the trail of a falling star
Can't turn my back without a blade digging deep, deep, deep
it's more than enough to make a grown man cry
the god in me is the, the devil in you
there's so many more beautiful ways to die
I close my eyes and I start to drift away
I close my eyes and I start to sway.
