lyrics

Son, listen
Wake the fuck up!
This is a message from the beyond
Telling you that life goes on
So pick up your bag of bones
And become a lightning rod in a cyclone
And conduct like a mother fucker who missed his train
Because a storm is gonna rain no matter what you do
So wake the fuck up
Carpe diem
Seize the day

Welcome to the underside, the underside of soul
Forever is the only time, the only time I know
I ain't no sinner for some senator's crime
Don't feed the beast with your peace of mind

You got your head held high
Neck too skinny
Spine to weak, killed too many,
to read the signs and decide
Nothing about this comedy is divine
You're too blind, too dumb, or just too high

I must've made a mistake
You should be medicated boy

Name's lucifer, dots uncrossed
and t's not forgotten
I'm not the angel I was
Sure as shit ain't no prodigal son

The sun's been blinding me all my life
The sun's been blinding me down
Welcome to the underside of soul

Living in the land with no sunshine
No appetite
Jesus Christ never minded if he wasn't proven right
They say you're taking too many pills for your emptiness
Just pop, pop, pop... Well...
I'm truly envious

Understand me the only thing that's reel is where the tape spins
It's the beat of the heart, not the smoke and mirrors
Hollywood hot pink, hot shit, don't make a fucking difference
Smoking cigarettes or counting silhouettes in an X-ray

Since life is just an ashtray
Might as well kiss it, might as well miss it, since you're pissing it all away
The comeback kid can't get his fix of heartache
Hell-bent on dying fire and brimstone in the age of no ozone
Only lord knows I ain't scared of no holy ghost
Name's lucifer
The original lyricist

(Name's Lucifer)
Son of a bitch still wrestling with nixon's spirit

(Name's Lucifer)
Son of a cokehead, crackhead black epidemic, incarcerated imprisoned
As part of a bad trip
It's just acid rain wrapped up in flip cup
trap party rabbit hat haberdashery America

(Name's Lucifer)
And I'm here to drop some real knowledge bombs
These souls ain't been free in ages!

I don't know what kind of reality you've been living in
this is where souls go to die
But you ain't dying
You got some fight in you
He took your lightning so use your thunder

Now that the beat's been properly restored
You best be taking me back to like it was before
I shalt not want for nothing more
I know all that this glass can do is hurt
Let me be the first to welcome you to planet earth
Just a bunch of ocean and a couple handfuls of dirt
The only way to resuscitate is to reverberate
Aluminum hydroxide polyester dicarbonate
I reiterate
Things aren’t necessarily a mystery unless you let em' be
If you're needing electricity why don't you take a listen to all these souls in misery
Don't let her pull on your heartstrings
I'm sure you had other dreams before you met her
But love is just a broken thing in America
Just another tie you get to sever
Just another line you think is clever
Or whatever
If she doesn't call it'd probably be for the better
Or whatever the weather
You gotta learn to live and live to learn
That's the only way you ain't gone get burned
You best not be getting burned
And get to it
Show em' your soul

Mama
I'm crying
Mama
I'm trying
But the real world don't offer me no guidance
Mama
Where did daddy run off to?
Mama
‘Cause the bank keeps ringing for him to pay his dues
I know I don't have a penny to my name
But at least I own my name
Don't run don't stray
I just tell it like they tell it on the television
You give no grief you won't get it
You cut your strings you ain't livin
I could spend my whole life trying to reach you
But I could never connect with the void
I just don't get down with your choices
But you do you and I'll do me
That's what it means to be family
It means anything, everything, debauchery, ecstasy
Last thing I heard you was out cold in the hospital
Tried drowning your demons but you broke your bottle
She broke your throne she cut your hair
These broken bones can't go nowhere
While I get lifted
These days I get high off anything my mind can take
But I guess that's more than you could say
While you're getting low, burning
I'll be ascending

Consider your sentence ended.
