I moved myself west to find a philosophy To learn my geography at best Where the mountains are cold The rain drops it's tears, I'm told Amongst the ashes a heart of gold, they say I guess it's best to imagine it that way So I bought me a book to teach me the ways of god To open my tarnished heart from it Started praisin' the lord and talkin' in tongues and code I did repairs on that broken road back home I guess it's better than being alone And now to death: I'm dying To love: I'm trying To god: I'm lying again And to my ma: I've failed you To my pa: I (always) blamed you And to god: I have shamed you again So I moved myself out, I pictured a better home A lawn full of marigolds, I guess I headed back east, started thinking my hope away Depression was the one to stay since then Now, I take pills to push it from my head Yes, I take pills to push it from my head And now to death: I'm dying To love: I'm trying To god: I'm lying again And to my ma: I've failed you To my pa: I (always) blamed you And to god: I have shamed you again To god: I have shamed you again To god: I have shamed you again Again
