Let me guide you through the story of a boy and his curse

Tiny diamond in his stroller with his first step chasing the hearse

Sippin' at a cup that's half way filled

But looking forward to the day he pays that drinking bill



There's no peace, there's no quiet on this earth

He confided, nestled tightly in that womb beneath the dirt

Hurt no more and when he turned 24

He wrote a note to nail to God's front door that said



I want death

Death for my birthday

I want death

Death in the worst way

I want death

Death for my birthday



Don't get me wrong cause..



I love life

But life has a boyfriend

Bless my soul

I'm out to destroy them

I want death

Death for my birthday



For my birthday



From the high paying job and the love of his life

He rode a roller coaster ride of lust on their wedding night

They made a baby in unmentionable ways

He was ungrateful as a man could be on that blessed day



And underneath he thought this is all a phase

Just a blip in the existence of a structure vast and great

Pray each night to his cross of a charm

For the one thing he couldn't afford just to buy the farm



I want death

Death for my birthday

I want death

Death in the worst way

I want death

Death for my birthday



Don't get me wrong cause..



I love life

But life has a boyfriend

Bless my soul

I'm out to destroy them

I want death

Death for my birthday



For my birthday



I'll never lose another friend again

Or watch them start a war that's fought for ideals that are dead

I'll never have an argument again



Because my dust

will be your salt

My blood will hydrate you off

My heart will be your meal

And I won't ride the cycle of the way it kills to think and feel

No more, no



I want death

Death for my birthday

I want death

Death in the worst way

I want death

Death for my birthday



Don't get me wrong cause..



I love life

But life has a boyfriend

Bless my soul

I'm out to destroy them

I want death

Death for my birthday



For my birthday



One sweet day his heart ceased to beat

He fell so fast beneath all our feet

Through bugs and snakes

Last words he had to say were



Help me claw my way to the surface

Oh sweet lord you know I deserve this

Just one more, just one more birthday
