Words
Lyrics
No sign of Heaven anywhere in sight
All that was true is left behind
Once I could see now I am blind
Don't want the dreams you try to sell
This disease I give to myself
How does it feel?
Suck suck suck
She makes it sweeter than the sun
I get too tight I come undone
I bow my head to confess
Her temple walls are made of flesh
Runs up my arm till I'm on track
Itches the skin right off my back
I'll heal your wounds
I'll set you free
I'm Jesus Christ on ecstasy
How does it feel?
Suck suck suck
I am so dirty on the inside
I am so dirty on the inside
How does it feel?
Suck suck suck
A thousand lips
A thousand tongues
A thousand throats
A thousand lungs
A thousand ways to make it true
I want to do terrible things to you
