I wanna die in a shower of bullets
If you shot me today I would love it
It would prove I was making a change
Living my life in a beautiful way
It's such a tragic tradition
To be subject to assassination
Would mean you were preaching love
To everybody in every home
It would be the highest honour on Earth
That you forever remember my words
To so inspire the hearts of man
That those fuckers would want me dead
And all the fans would cry
At the brutal end of my life
I'd become a symbol of
Understanding, peace and love
I wanna die in a shower of bullets
If you shot me today I would love it
It would bring a smile to my face
As I watch from beyond the grave
Like so many great men before
On the cusp of changing the world
Have regrettably been taken away
'Cause our leaders were so afraid
I'm not sure which side they're on
When they turn a person into a god
Is it for the love or for the hate
That they all are taken away?
And on the day I die
Such evil will come to light
And open up the eyes
Of every man, woman and child
I want to be so extraordinary
That they'll fear the fact I'm legendary
Opening up the eyes of so very many
To the lies they tell to everybody
So they'll look at me and see a threat
There won't be another way out of it
The only choice they'll ever have is to...
...KILL ME!!!
How many more will be murdered
With no-one doing anything about it
Before we stand up together and shout
"Stop taking our heroes away"?
Yeah, I'd like to see it happen to me
Delusions of grandeur you'll see
We need to stand up and rise
Screaming "We've had enough
And we mean it this time!"
I want to meet Kurt Cobain,
John Lennon and JFK
With a smile on my face
Right after I've been blown away
x3
I wanna die in a shower of bullets
After living my life to its fullest
Burnt onto the history pages
My story told throughout the ages
I wanna die in a shower of bullets

He was a fire starter
We are the fire starters
She's alive and she loves me
She's alive and she's hungry
She's alive and she's beautiful
I love the dancing blaze
She's alive and she loves me
She's alive and she's hungry
She's alive and she's beautiful
The fire that burns for days
She's the tygress
Burning bright
Pretty embers
Sparks of beauty
Stoke the fire
The flame shall us all in time
Pretty embers
Sparks of beauty
Stoke the fire
The flame shall us all in time
With her immortal
Hand and eye
Do you think it's strange to be
In love with this catastrophe?
Do you think it's strange to love
A beauty I can never touch?
I am Prometheus
Nature's rage, my bride
I will dance with this titan
And sleep now in the fire
Thank you God for your creation
Now this fire will cleanse the world
Thank you God for your creation
Now sit back and watch it burn
Send the world unto the fire
It's nature's way. It's...it's nature's choice
Throw a stone into a tear
Sending ripples of hope and fear
She dances, so graceful
The anima alive
The colours...the heat...
The light...so wise...
She's dangerous...unstoppable
She gives as she takes
She's her and now she's gone
She burns the sin away
Do you think it's strange to be
In love with this catastrophe?
Do you think it's strange to love
A beauty I can never touch?
She's alive and she loves me
She's alive and she's hungry
She's alive and she's beautiful
I love the dancing blaze
She's alive and she loves me
She's alive and she's hungry
She's alive and she's beautiful
The fire that burns for days
She's alive!
She's alive!
She's alive!
She's alive!

This Game We Play

I feel like an alien
Trapped in an animal
Surrounded by zombies and wolves
I once was an angel
But turned into a devil
How I got here I'll never know
I am just a protagonist dreaming
I am just a lunatic escaping
x2
The madness of this life
Is wearing me down
No...no sense. No...no love
The madness of this life
Makes me want to cry
Now I just ride the waves
Ha ha ha ha!
Oh
Think I'm going crazy
Been crazy a long time
Think I'm losing my mind
Oh my mind
x2
I am just a protagonist dreaming
I am just a lunatic escaping
x2
No sense I am making
Of the lives we are living
I ride off into the Sun
I'm going crazy
Feel alienated
I don't know who I can trust
What's on the outside
Now lives within
I observe and so it becomes
Yeah

We are the family
Of self-destructive tendencies
We'll never learn. We'll never learn
We are the voices
Of the internally hated
We'll never learn. We'll never learn
So...
We put on a smile
As we march through Hell
We won't kill ourselves
Well, not just yet
x4
We are the depression
That rises from inaction
We'll never learn. We'll never learn
We are the failures
Of life's little game
We'll never learn. We'll never learn
So...
We put on a smile
As we march through Hell
We won't kill ourselves
Well, not just yet
x4
Do year hear the cheering of the distant crowd?
Are you comfortable there beneath your shroud?
Do you feel surrounded while you want to hide?
Do you feel you can't endure this life?
Do you hear the voices screaming?
They'll be so pleased when you fail
Do you have it all?
Or have you thrown it all away?
The home of the mad and the shameless
'Though it's not great we will not go
The home of the mad and the shameless
It's what's inside you cannot know
The home of the mad and the shameless
'Though it's not great we will not go
Do year hear the cheering of the distant crowd?
Are you comfortable there beneath your shroud?
Do you feel surrounded while you want to hide?
Do you feel you can't endure this life?
Do you have dry eyes but want to cry?
Are you contemplating suicide?
Please know that we are by your side
You're not alone
You're not alone
You're not alone
You're not alone!

Jeffrey Epstein didn't kill himself
He was murdered before the trial
What was the colour of that dress?
Do you remember the thigh gap style?

Writing My Own Eulogy
07:42
|

His was a troubled life
He tried so hard to be free
His mind became a prison
They threw away the key
He wandered, self-defeated
His demons taking the lead
Those around him said they loved him
But he could never believe
What he hell is wrong with me?
Writing my own eulogy
Does it matter if I try?
Does it matter if I cry?
What he hell is wrong with me?
Writing my own eulogy
Does it matter if I try?
Does it matter if I die?
His life was filled with sadness
Upon a river of tears
He only saw the pain
Such was his disease
His demons came alive
Four white horses in the sky
No matter how hard he tried
No matter how long he cried
What he hell is wrong with me?
Writing my own eulogy
Does it matter if I try?
Does it matter if I cry?
What he hell is wrong with me?
Writing my own eulogy
Does it matter if I try?
Does it matter if I die?
We don't understand our own minds
Logic thrown upon the fire
Reality breaks down the walls
Madness claws against the door
Knowledge is a dangerous thing
For a mind open to it
We're scared but calm before the storm
Like from a dream, we're waking
Does it matter if I die?
His life had just begun
He threw it all away
Put a knife against his arm
To see if he could take the pain
It is so nice to see
So many gathered here today
To celebrate his life
As short as it may have been
What the hell is wrong with me?
Writing my own eulogy
Does it matter if I try?
Does it matter if I die?
