This Isn't Halloween
Like the title says, this isn't Halloween, it's my life
This isn’t Halloween, it’s not a dream
This is my life, where I want to scream
Filled with nightmares, my soul wants to bleed
Fed up with the evil agenda, seeping into my skin
Oil mixed with blood, pissing out diamond rings
What we see isn’t always what it seems
Sunday confessionals of the lost and lonely
Pinning crosses on my Sunday best
Bent knees, bleeding hearts, full of unrest
A chaotic mess for a mind full of thoughts
Guessing random numbers to cast our lots
This girl here, this boy there, we go to form a couple
We keep them around as long as their bodies are soft and supple
Just don’t pay attention to what they say or how they feel
We rob their time from rusty clocks, just to steal
Afraid of losing the touch of lust and affection
All because our minds are poisoned with the infection
Digging for ivory bills, underneath rotting hills
Peel back our skin to reveal our bones covered in sin
Hit up the casinos to cash them in
Roll them dice, shooting sixes
Love the pain, flipping crucifixes
Here we are, here we stand
Naked and afraid, silent and alone
Are we waiting for the one?
The one that sets our soul on fire like the boiling sun
Blaze like the ashes of yesterday
Repent in our time of decay
Let’s find the lost, in our blind man’s game
Insanity is the secret to not go insane
This isn’t Halloween, it’s the All American Dream
This is our life, lived to the extreme
Filled with daydreams, our demons begin to breed
Drowning in the power of chaos
All for one, all for greed.
