No Man's Peace

 Beer and cigarettes for breakfast 

breathing in all your low blows 

I smoked myself into a bad mood,

momentary lapse of impulse control...

That's the way my father made his life a mess


An exhibit, not a person

I'm just a face in the crowd they'll 

never forget about

Deception's this way

Watching me glow,

surrender all control,

Are you ready for your benediction?


Not the kind of thing to last forever

so follow me to the edge of the bridge

I'll watch you all go up in flames with it

Like the pariah of the village 

I burned it all down just to feel its warmth

I will be no man's peace,

I begin to twist


We'll laugh 'till we cry,

So make up your signs from above 

Soon everything will be a memory.

You'll curse me once the thrill expires...

So let's dance all night,

Try to feel alive.


Am I self-destructive or just stupid?

All caught up in someone else's business all over

It's only a matter of time 'till I run out of things to do

Knowledge might be power but

Ignorance's a bliss 

so pick your famine and I'll pretend to pray.
