God gave me the sunshine
And showed me my lifeline
I was told it was all mine
And I got raped down a layline
Got a day
What a day
Jesus really died for me
I guess Jesus really tried for me

You gain an entropy
I feel like it's fucking me
A love lead of the energy
Love living like a deity
Won a day
What a day
Jesus really died for me
I guess Jesus really tried for me

Bodies in the body tree
Bodies making chemistry
Bodies on my family
Bodies in the way I mean
Bodies in the cemetery
And that's the way it's got to be

Got to be rejection
From my reflection
I want perfection
