I'm not the animal I used to be but you

Shouldn't speak ill of the dead

I've never been just one of the boys, I've never hidden guns under the bed

I feel like Jesus, I feel betrayed, and you know

Damn well that I feel crucified

Assassination, shot full of vitrial, there's so

Many more heroic ways to die

I close my eyes and I start to drift away

I close my eyes and I start to sway



Lie back and think of England I'll just fake it some more

A carrion feast for the ravens and the crows

I know my price and I'll be your whore and I

Don't care if the whole damn world knows

I feel so jaded, so tired and so worn

I feel like I've got nothing left to say

I'll be a martyr, a brave little soldier cos

There's so many demons left to purge and slay

I close my eyes and I start to drift away

I close my eyes and I start to sway



Trapped in the eye of a hurricane

Taking a ride on a runaway train

Behind the wheel of a crashing car

Caught in the trail of a falling star

Can't turn my back without a blade digging deep

It's more than enough to make a grown man cry

The God in me is the, the devil in you, there's

Many more beautiful ways to die

I close my eyes and I start to drift away

I close my eyes and I start to sway
