Magician

(album: Midwest Monsters - 2012)

I've been hypnotized by dead guys,
By body bags, by cop car rides.
Mother, priest, and I,
But this ain't gods fight.

I can't think of some days I've lived,
Some things I've done without getting sick,
My stomach fucking churns,
And my bullet wounds still burn.

Father forgive me for I've sinned,
I've killed before and I'll kill again.
I just can't wear a grin,
Because of how hard it's been.
Sometimes I sit and think,
If I pull the trigger it'll make them blink,
And then you'll see what I've done,
Or who I have become!

I've been hypnotized by dead guys,
By body bags, by cop car rides.
Mother, priest, and I,
But this pain don't die.

Everyone that I know,
Is in a cage or in a hole.
I can't touch my friends,
I can only touch this pen,
And it bleeds like when,

The knife went in,
That night I recall I did it again.
I was waiting out in the street,
A brand new piece of meat.
And as I lie there bleeding to death,
A man came up and he gave me breath,
And he said this through his words,
He said destroy the earth!

I've been hypnotized by dead guys,
By body bags, by cop car rides.
Mother give it up,
No one gives a fuck!

Days like this I reminisce,
And I wish they didn't miss.
Wish they aimed a little higher,
left me laying in my piss.
It goes like this:

The Devil's taken all my friends,
I've been to hell twice and I ain't going back again.
A two time loser, and I ain't even human,
And this body isn't mine it's just something I'm using.
I can leave it anytime, shoot up in the sky,
And ask that motherfucker why!
Why does everything I touch die?
He said you know why,
I wasn't really curious, I had to hear you say it.
To make sure I wasn't dreaming,
To make sure I wasn't hypnotized,
By a magician swinging his watch in front of my eyes.

Hypnotized,
By a magician swinging his watch in front of my eyes.
Hypnotized,
By a magician swinging his watch in front of my eyes.
Hypnotized,
By a magician swinging his watch in front of my eyes.
