O now mama
Tell me what you want
I ain't here to stop you
And I'll see you don't get caught
O now baby
Tell me what you need
Ain't much for us left to do
But to lay around and breathe
I know that you're desperate for the truth
So stick around and help me work this through
And I'll be honest too
Open up my head
In the hopes that it rains
To cool off this fever that's been
Scramblin my brains
Haunted by my past
In this glass that stayed unstirred
Contemplate this anger
That's been thinning out my herd
I know that you're desperate for the truth
So stick around and help me work this through
And I'll be honest too
The hardest part of letting go
Of all them things you think you know
Is rising from them ashes in your head
Rebirth from your helping hand
I hope my father understands
In the belly of the beast you wake the dead
You wake the dead
O how holy
Thou seem to want to be
Shakin anger from your fist
With a belt across your knee
Heaven help ya
For if this is all you got
There ain't much for you left to do
But to lay around and rot
I know that you're desperate for the truth
To rectify these demons of our youth
And finally find a way to figure out the proper path to choose
Well I'll be honest too
