i'm armed to the teeth
like a fucking animal
i ruin everything
i get my bony hands on

over the bridge of sighs
we will get a cross like christ, crucified
it's like a birth but it is in reverse
never gets better, always gets worse

ill gnaw at anything
new england is mine
and it owes me a living

and i don't care if i live or die
because i ain't ever going to no other side
there ain't no heaven and there ain't no hell
but i am a sinner so it's all just as well

there's a devil on my back
there's a devil on my legs
there's a devil on my chest
there's a devil on my neck

i've been wailing like a child at the bottom of a well
i've been pacing like a man in a prison cell
i am buried above ground
and no one knows anything

is this real
