We are born
Alone and weak
Back to black
Old and meek
Our time here is so short
Right to life or abort
I don't know or who could say
When all that comes
Will go away
Some are victims
Some are slaves
Some are sunshine
Some are graves
Some are lost
Some are found
Some are tight and
Some unbound
Could you ever come back through
Without becoming
Back and blue
Your words are hollow
Your voice is noise
You practice lines for all the boys
You play with people just like games
You're good with faces but
You're bad with names
Nothing's true if nothing's not
You're never colder than when you're hot
Well
There really ain't no more surprises
Like a dead savior
One that never rises
You got two faces
One is death
You taught yourself to
Steal their breath
The other face
Lights the room
Like the mask of
Love and doom
Who are you?
Or who could say?
But very few can
Ever get away
The scared were never
Born that way
But slowly made
From day to day
From night to night
From year to year
They swallowed almost every tear
The flesh will kill the spirits hold
And most will do
What they've been told
Well
There really ain't no more surprises
Like a dead savior
One that never rises
You hang with priests
You hang with thugs
On mountain tops
And under rugs
You change your name
Every day
No one knows who
You are that way
You read the signs
With empty eyes
And give your love to alibis
Get me back, get me in
With you it's either
The saving or the sin
I've been bought
But you've been sold
Never hotter than
When you're cold
Well now I want to disappear
And get myself away from here
Well
There really ain't no more surprises
Like a dead savior
One that never rises
