|
I was strictly insomnimaniacal |
|
Rose above sleep like something flammable |
|
Vapour trails from the whites of my eyes |
|
It's a long slow fall for the hypnotized |
|
Lock me into a falling groove |
|
'Cos there's not another soul who even moves me |
|
Winter's razor at the base of my spine |
|
I don't mind being divinely aligned |
|
I've been crowned by sorrow |
|
I've been crowned by hate |
|
I've been crowned by the thorns I did not create |
|
I've been crowned |
|
I've been crowned |
|
Sawn-off scatter-gun rhythm kicked in |
|
To the base of my brain with one hundred million |
|
Switch blade sugar coated spines |
|
Kiss me to a strange design |
|
This suit of mine no longer fits |
|
The style and the grace just got up and quit |
|
So hold me unto this Holy Sacrament |
|
That holds me in shape and in the present tense |
|
I've been crowned by sorrow |
|
I've been crowned by hate |
|
I've been crowned in black |
|
Now I abdicate |
|
I've been crowned |
|
I've been crowned |
|
I worshipped by the shrine of sleep |
|
No miracle came to grant me peace |
|
Day in, day out, while unawares |
|
I died a while as my eyes just stared |
|
Through the vapourous veil of my shotgun bride |
|
I can hear her talking in a voice just like mine |
|
And listen |
|
Don't you know I've tried |
|
To quit this insomnicide. |
|
I've been crowned by sorrow |
|
I've been crowned by hate |
|
I've been crowned by the thorns I did not create |
|
I've been crowned |
|
I've been crowned |
|
And I've been crowned |
|
I've been crowned |
|
Here comes the hypnotist |
|
Banish the anaesthetist |
|
Bring me the head of Morpheus |
|
Hey, Hey, Hey... |
