Sadist God
(Oviedo)

I’m walking down the street
Rain keeps falling on my limbs
I remember the steps I took
To get to where I am

But as the steps get farther
And farther away not finding
The next one becomes more
And more my main goal

Pre-Chorus:

A burning cross in imprinted
In mind as all I remember
Is being betrayed by the entity
That called himself God

Chorus:

Why are told to believe?
Why are we told to pray?
Why are we told to give in?
To a sadist and unjust god?

I now sit in silence as
My limbs are all but
Numb, dead from all
This unappreciated work

***Pre-Chorus***

***Chorus***

Bridge:

You stop seeing
Stop all feeling
And believing
So why’s that bad
If you kept hurting
Seeing death
Decay all around you
Then I’d be opposed

Even for someone as cold as me
It breaks my black and empty heart
When a child is left behind
A product his own demise

But who are we to believe
When on one hand you have
Miracles being performed while
Unjust death keeping piling up
Like as if they were supposed to

***Pre-Chorus***

***Chorus***

 

It’s Not Easy Being God
(Oviedo)

I stare at the screen
As I look for an answer
Taking another puff
On my blackened cigarette
I look down and wonder
As my heart beats faster
How did it get to this?

Pre-Chorus:

But you can’t change
The outcome of it all
Even if you slit your
Wrists and hung yourself

Chorus:

It’s not easy being God
It’s not cool to be
Called names and have
Your reputation destroyed
Over some fucking hearse

3 am and I can’t see
The light fast enough
The day’s turned black
And yet there’s no tunnel
Or hell to go to
If there was an answer
You’d think it would
Have popped up by now

***Pre-Chorus***

Bridge:

But you can’t suck
Everyone’s dick and
Shine their boots for
Just a fucking buck
Cuz man needs to die
Himself to realize the
Value of his fucking
Miserable existence

I stare at the screen
Once more as I put
Out the cigarette and
Go to bed cuz
God can’t help
Your sorry ass if
You don’t learn to
Pick up your crap
Off the floor

***Pre-Chorus***

***Chorus***

Chorus 2:
It’s not easy being
The leader that’s supposed
To be hung for all he didn’t
Fucking do
And spit on for everything
He could of done better
As he dies he thinks
It's all for you babe!

*** repeated over and over***
"I became what I once despised"
 

 

 

 

 

Man as One
(Oviedo)

Facing a white wall
I stare at the sky
Taking my night meds
I began to ponder why
Killing in the name of
Now becomes part of my past
As changing time in my head
Clear the way for a new light

Pre-Chorus:

But why did we have to die
All to realize why

Chorus:

As God is trapped
Between these walls
He is faced
With this war
Man is healed
With his faith
With his mind
Cuz God is he

Looking at faces
On the tv screen
Pastor’s make references
To the evil he sees
The issues can pile
Into buildings of pain
Making man
Turn against himself

***Pre-Chorus***


***Chorus***

Bridge:

And as he sees
Himself die
He feels pains
His shell cracks
And all becomes
An entity himself
It’s now clear
Who god was all
along …

***Interlude***

He awakes as there’s
A knock on the door
It’s his children who’ve
Come back for more
But the exhaustion shows
In his eyes
He needs a break from
All hi holy tasks

***Pre-Chorus***

***Chorus***

Chorus 2:
As God he sees
All his tasks
All his worth just
Torn apart
 

 

I’ve Pondered
(Oviedo)

I’ve doused myself
In gasoline,
I’ve got a red
Lighter in my hand
I’m looking at my
List of friends
Everyone who’s
Done me wrong (cuz)

Pre-Chorus:

God is taking
Shit in the stall
Next to you
So why are you
Praying to a God
That’s just in as
Much shit as you (and now)

Chorus:

I’ve pondered
I’ve died
I’ve realized
You’re not worth my time

I hear a crack
A door has opened
A small man enters
And tells me out loud

***Pre-Chorus***

***Chorus***

Bridge:

And I could of
Cried myself to sleep
And repeat all acts
Of self destruction
But I never found
A reason to lower
Myself to your
Pathetic fucking little standards

Dear humanity
I’ve decided to stay
And remain as your
Cock sucking God (cuz)

Pre-Chorus 2:

I am taking a
Shit in the stall
Next to you
So why are you
Coming to me
If I am in a s much
Shit as you? (and now)

***Chorus***

Outro:

And if I could
Go back I would
Erase it all
The Vain,
The Pitiful,
The crude and
The Mother Fuckers...
yeah
In other words
Everyone else!
 

 

So Far Removed
(Oviedo)

Standing at your local
Grocery store cashier line
I look around and see
The magazines, the cell
Bling and all the crap
Humanity has made for itself

Chorus:

I am so far removed
I have left the world
I am so fucking far away
From the stupidity we call life

Seeing the Goth sit
In the corner as he
Cries and cuts himself
But he deserves the
Hell he created with
His worthless, miserable life

***Chorus***

Bridge:

Cuz I will always do
Something to make you hurt
That shit’s just unavoidable

The Goth and
The other kids & parents
Come to my crucifixion
They cheer to see me
As I slowly fade away
As I thank them,
I’ll be right back

***Chorus (4X)***

Outro:
But did you think
I cared at all?
Did you think
I’d pick up
Your sorry ass
Off the floor
Well, that was your
Mistake, not mine

And as you come
To my aid with
All your problems
Man, humans are
Such petty pieces
Of crap!

The irony is they
Actually think I
Give a care,
They think I wanna
Better their lives,

Well isn’t that
A catch 22?
You help one
Bastard out as
You painfully
Destroy another…
Yeah, you figure
That one out!
