lyrics

Pick apart the faces that we wear,
Who are you today?
Try to be the way you said I should,
Who are you to say, who am I to fade away?

It goes down bitter like milk of the lemon
I got both my eyes on heaven and I’m ready to go
It’s a cruel, cruel world and I’m hoping there’s pleasure
To be had
somewhere below
Somewhere below

Sometimes I can hear my devil sing
Haunting melodies, sometimes they comfort me
I want to be enchanted by the glorious cacophony
Be what I am
Just want to be
Some kind of free

It goes down bitter like milk of the lemon
I got both my eyes on heaven and I’m ready to go
It’s a cruel, cruel world and I’m hoping there’s pleasure
To be had
somewhere below
It’s a cruel, cruel world and I’m hoping there’s pleasure
To be had
Somewhere below
Somewhere below

You said you’d love me for a photograph of sound
And I ate it up
Right off the ground

It goes down bitter like milk of the lemon
I got both my eyes on heaven and I’m ready to go
It’s a cruel, cruel world and I’m hoping there’s pleasure
To be had
somewhere below
Sometimes it goes down bitter like milk of the lemon
I got both my eyes on heaven and I’m raring to go
It’s a cruel, cruel world and I’m hoping there’s pleasure
To be had
Somewhere below
I’m a bad, bad man and I’m
Going somewhere I can be well
And all of them
Can go to hell
