how it came to be this way

When candles and incense are not enough
 To dispel the death i die every day
 When an alter cloth over my wounds
 Cannot stop the bleeding
 Nor still my pain
 . . . i'd gather razors' sharpest light
 To see how it came to be this way
 That the sinking in my head becomes
 The death i die. . . death i die
 When figurines twinkle as they crash to the floor
 And the diamonds crumble when there are no more
 When my body lingers at the killing site
 Gathering the sharpest stones for the chosen one
 . . . i'd gather razors of sharpest light
 To see how it came to be this way
 That the sinking in my head becomes
 The death i die. . .
 Fire and wine and burning lies
 Bring me to this crazy fear
 Fire and wine and burning eyes
 Live the master of my tears
 But when the hour has broken us
 We shall wonder - wonder who it was
 And how it came to be this way
 The death i die every fucking day
 And when the demons of my mind
 Come to claw for scraps tonight
 I shall kill them one by one
 And feed their corpses to the sun
 When the demons... the demons of my... mind
 Come to claw for table scraps tonight
 And when the demons the demons of my mind
 Come to claw for table scraps tonight
 Well i shall kill them one by one
 By one... by one... by one... by one...
 By one... by one... by one... by one...
