God-Fearing

check out the actual song: http://www.myspace.com/magnoliaboulevard

I’m not the betterman
Barely the better half
Of men who speak to you in lies

Taken for a fool
This world can be so cruel
I know that it’s not even worth the fight

Then the night creeps in like a whore again
Tempting my madness like a weakend friend
She’s made-up just right to erase any doubts tonight

And heaven can’t hold me down tonight
Because the truth is, I’m already dead
So I’ll forget the rules and lie like I used to
If only to bring feeling again

So I dream all day and drink myself to sleep
To the liquid gods I make a toast to save me
Until I can cut myself and it’s their words I bleed

And there are children outside who sell their innocence
A basket of faith from an actor who’s heaven-sent
A lover who leaves lies on every doorstep
And me, who writes words about I book I’ve never even read

She said “don’t tell me the truth like you used to,
Reality can be such a dangerous thing to live through”
And these clogging veins which numb all my feeling
But when it’s all said and done, I’m still…
