lyrics

1.
Thirst. I was sedated, jaded, searching, and you sat at the throne,
negated by the thorns and nails in your palms.
And for the help that I thought that I sought, you provided me with the cure,
market and turf, the tools to dig my grave right next to your own.

For if we shared this, thy kingdom, even if our dominion
was just blackness, rubble and dust; piles of corpses and bones;
We could stand at the top, at the bottom of the top, selling alms to the bugs,
provide the capsule salvation from the poisons we sold.

We took the pill for the thrill
but I never felt satisfied.
I was a criminal trapped in your alibi.

2.
What was a summer hustle became a spring, winter, and fall,
and from your mouth, loud, your sentence interrupted by—
the alchemical malpractice that we, prideful, dared to perform,
it was the choice: demolish the tower or to die by the rope.

Diabolical elimination, from station to station,
and I became the exterminating angel,
and you became the manifest reflection of degeneration.
And in your cell, out of time,
there's nothing but your crime.

Oh, baby, you just broke your mind.
but what did you find? It's all coming back again…

We took the pill for the thrill
But I never felt satisfied.
I was a criminal trapped in your alibi.
I never thought that I'd see
you plead on your knees and hands.
Wouldn't break the confession
if you don't admit to the crime.

3.
And I'd do it all again.
It's turn yourself in, or turn in your grave.
Straight up fucked up your mind.
I got away with it all, messed up.
And now you carry all that weight,
and I stand here in witness' grace.
For I learned to repent,
and you just faded, out, away.

I didn't know that you'd break.
But if you ask me, I'd do it all again.

I took the pill for the thrill
But I never felt satisfied.
I am a criminal, I am a criminal.
I am a criminal, I am a criminal.
I am a criminal, I am a criminal.
I am a criminal, I am a criminal.
I am a criminal, I am a criminal.
I am a criminal, I am a criminal.
