Put a little heat on it
Pluck out the thorn from your side
Put a little meat on it
I got a salve that you know you wanna buy
Put a little money on it
Generic to throw you a bone
Put a little warning on it
Keep them down so I stay on the throne
Put a little heat on it
Smile to cover a lie
Promise you'll be better for it
Keep coming and you will feel fine
Drink a little water for it
Wash out the poison or die
Drink a little potion for it
Chemicals to clean your insides
Borrow, swallow, hollow
Then, deepest sorrow
Conceal what you don't wanna feel
It's not real; you're never gonna heal
Drink a little water for it
Crazy to take it dry
The pain that you feel before it
Is gone before your very eyes
Have a little supper with it
The food is the best you can buy
Maybe you could afford it
And if not, well, I guess you will die
Borrow, swallow, hollow
Then, deepest sorrow
Conceal what you don't wanna feel
It's not real; you're never gonna heal
Monday: take twice a day
Tuesday: throw the bottle away
Wednesday: try to pleasure yourself
Thursday is when it all goes to hell
Friday: nothing but a static buzz
Next day: wake up before the sun
Sunday: try to have a little fun
Repeat, and always stay on the run
Borrow, swallow, hollow
Then, deepest sorrow
Conceal what you don't wanna feel
It's not real; you're never gonna heal

Oh, am I born to die
Walking in circles, waiting to cry
Oh, am I born to scream
After so many days, the cold gets less mean
No dignity in life, no dignity in death
Take away my kin, bash in my babies' heads
No room to move my legs, so I stay down instead
Until they slit my throat and package me in sheds
Soon my bones will become flutes
Soon I will be something to do
Soon my eyes will not gaze at the moon
Soon my flesh will nourish you
Your greed leaves you starving!
Your greed leaves you starving!
Pray that pain will leave me soon
Soon my flesh will nourish you
Oh, am I born to feed
Rawness of skin
Is it not a sin
To feel excitement as I bleed?
Oh am I born to die
Fatten my thighs
To nickel and dime
Too heavy to walk or to fly
Soon my bones will become flutes
Soon I will be something to do
Soon my eyes will not gaze at the moon
Soon my flesh will nourish you
Your greed leaves you starving!
Your greed leaves you starving!
Pray that pain will leave me soon
Soon my flesh will nourish you

Transaction

Could you fathom the depth of my love
The ebb and flow, the softest glow
That palpitates in veins
Would you dare to make a trade
The priceless warmth, passing the torch
Brings substance to your name
A precious spice, a shameless vice
Were you stung when it dropped on your tongue?
Transact advice, play it nice
A song to be sung, like the air in your lungs
Don't stir the pot so you get what you want
Everything in this life is a transaction, or a fight
Don't speak too loud, don't be too proud
The best you can do is a transaction to pay your dues
Could you fathom that none of my love
Is currency or pageantry
But, a gift that is earned
Would you dare to play your ace
And give me your truth, ugly and raw
Corrupted, yet chaste
A half a kiss that you nearly missed
Were you stung when it landed on your tongue?
Transact your love for a push or a shove
Now you fit like a glove, but no air in your lungs
Everything in this life is a transaction, or a fight
Don't speak too loud, don't be too proud
The best you can do is a transaction to pay your dues
