Dead Savior

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
