It started last night when I ate a tab
She gave me top till her throat sore
I thought I was living in happy land
Then I woke up it was all gone
I sunk to the bottom the floor of the ocean
I woke up the body of Plato
He showed me Atlantean holy land
And gave me the key to mankind's hope
I wanted to say so many things but I never did
I wanted to say that you're the reason I escaped my sins
I would do pills if they made the pain go away
But you know they don't
Popping and snorting ain't nothing but bandaids
Rip it off and you got no hope
Going 85 in a 65 tryna make my way on through the night
Red and blue lights right behind me make me think back
To those crucial nights in a Miami county cell
Where I realized that I will become somebody not a waste of a body
Violence isn't the way
I don't want to be
So I'll drown in the lake
I tried everything
But I'm still not really free
Drown in the lake
We all drown in the lake
Wishers lost a penny
Dreamers lost everything
I don't want to be
So I'll drown in the lake
I tried everything
But I'm still not really free
Drown in the lake
We all drown in the lake
Wishers lost a penny
Dreamers lost everything
[Bill O'Reilly & Marilyn Manson]
What are you trying to get across in the lyrics to these songs?
It's always about being yourself and not being ashamed of being different or thinking different. I try and take everyone's ideals, common morals, flip them around, make people look at them differently, question them
You're a minister in the Church of Satan, right?
I think everybody's got a presentation. Everybody looks a certain way because they want to convey a certain image. You look a certain way because you want people to listen to you in a certain way
Anything can be misinterpreted. People can look at Christ on a cross and think, This is an image of murder, this is violent, this has sexual imagery in it. And it just -- I think it's my job as an artist to be out there pushing people's buttons and making them question everything
I don't want to be
So I'll drown in the lake
I tried everything
But I'm still not really free
Drown in the lake
We all drown in the lake
Wishers lost a penny
Dreamers lost everything
I don't want to be
So I'll drown in the lake
I tried everything
But I'm still not really free
Drown in the lake
We all drown in the lake
Wishers lost a penny
Dreamers lost everything
