I have oil rigs beneath my skin
Machines drill behind my bones
My body is my sin
By power it is owned

No man could ever comprehend
The pain of simply being,
Only my heart can be my end
Behind the skin you’re seeing

Morsels of my past and present
Tangled
In mangled
Intestine.
That’s right where you'd want to be;
Deep inside
The dark machine.

To conquer me is to fulfill your need,
And feed your shameful lust.

My ending lies in your hands,
Take advantage of my
Fruitful land.

Fate is sealed,
Seems I only desecrate you
I beg to break an endless cycle
Or to snap and end our bloodline
I am empty dreams and pleading eyes
Where is God when you’re around?
On your knees to pray again
But when do you stop spilling blood?

Slaughterhouse and marble floors
Born to bleed out for my mother
To make up for my father’s sins,
To drink my liver to destruction
Or make up for my simple flaws
To save you from embarrassment
I've never been the winning horse
So take your trophies off the shelf

I can lead you to salvation
For I have been through all damnation
I can show you our Lord’s bounty,
Keep it in the family
Fear or doubt me

I can lead you to salvation,
Drag you through endless mud
**** and wine and bones and blood,
Offer Him true dedication
**** your young and bruise your knees
Keep it in the family
Fear or hate me

Was I born to love my mother
Or was I born to watch her die?
Laid down with my hands both tied
God, why do you punish me?
I’ve killed myself a million times
To keep it in the family

I was born on stolen land
Blinking stars at American fingers
Adorned with Native turquoise
On my knees for men
Drilling oil through slender bodies
Holding ***** money in their teeth
From a **** charge they got dropped
Find me in the pews with my mother
Hands in my lap and my gaze cold
Just a **** with Christian blood
Coursing through my soul
Ripping at my heart
Either shoot me in my country
Good ol’ USA
Or put me away for my sins

While I watch you slip away,
My reflection peeks from behind
I see me in that look
Your puffy eyes,
Your flushed face
Are you ever going to talk to me?
You’re too young to shed that blood
Too young to lose that spark
Still so young that your voice cracks,
Still so young that your hair’s blonde
While I watch life break you,
My heart is wrapped in flames
By blood I want to heal you
My blood, by our shared name

You are still my guiltiest moment
I’d like to smoke you to death
Let those sparks fly
Watch that heart writhe

Hit me where it hurts, babe
You know it better than most
Unhinge that jaw wide
Just let me ask why

I know I still have so much to learn
But your love is so fatal
I found you at night
Quit making me feel so alive
