1. THIS IS HOW I DIE
A concept on how my demons will eventually catch up and carry me off this mortal coil. The first track, serving as an introductory piece to the entire album. It's a fast, grandiose, celebratory song, like an Irish drinking song. I don't expect tears at my funeral, people! 1: THIS IS HOW I DIE Verse 1: Why should I fight to stay alive? Why fight to play a role? Why should I try to say the lines That reinforce control? And when the smoke and mirrors clear The bleeding ink runs dry-- This is how I die, Oh, this is how I die! Verse 2: Why should I struggle to survive Barely tripping on my toes? To the tune of society's calliope I don't get this fucking joke... When existence's shit hits the fan And all defocation flies, This is how I die, Oh, This is how I die! Chorus 1: Oh, this is how I die Oh, this is how I die! This is how I die, Oh, this is how I die! Unceremoniously Let this be my alibi So this is how I die, Oh, this is how I die! Bridge: Morbid--As it may seem I now throw in the towel... Oh-oh-oh-oh Sordid--As a wasted scream Beckoning the midnight hours... (Oh-oh-oh) Pointless! As a prayer's dream! Screaming for a buck Come and, go away with me, This boy who's shit outta luck... Verse 3: I've never claimed a halo or heroics I've no cape I'm not that Superman, a stoic Symbol of new strength My drying well, I'm shot to hell! Wave as he passes by, This is how I die, Oh, this is how I die! Verse 4: And if you see me in the clouds Don't bother thinking of The good times we had spent together Ingested drinking drugs Just let me be An effigy Don't attempt to revive 'Cause this is how I die, Oh, this is how I die! Chorus 2: Oh, this is how I die Oh, this is how I die! This is how I die, Oh, this is how I die! The suffering doesn't last that long Salvation's come on high So this is how I die Oh, this is how I die! Iniquity Has dripped from me Oh, this is how I die! There's sin in me Gone incomplete Oh, this is how I die! Wish me An indecent sleep Oh, this is how I die! Whoa, this is how I die! Yeah, this is how I die! Oh, this is how I die! 2007 by Sock-rat
