The Reflecting God

Your world is an ashtray
We burn and coil like cigarettes
The more you cry your ashes turn to mud
The nature of the leeches
The virgin's feeling cheated
You've only spent a second of your life

My world is unaffected
There is an exit here
I say it is and it's true
There is a dream inside a dream
I'm wide awake the more I sleep
You'll understand when I'm dead

I went to god just to see
And I was looking at me, yeah
Saw heaven and hell were lies
When I'm god everyone dies

Scar can you feel my power
Shoot here and the world gets smaller
Scar, scar can you feel my power
One shot and the world gets smaller

Let's jump upon the sharp swords
Cut away our smiles
Without the threat of death
There's no reason to live at all

My world is unaffected
There is an exit here
I say it is and it's true
There is a dream inside a dream
I'm wide awake the more I sleep
You'll understand when I'm dead

I went to god just to see
And I was looking at me, yeah
Saw heaven and hell were lies
When I'm god everyone dies

Scar can you feel my power
Shoot here and the world gets smaller
Scar, scar can you feel my power
One shot and the world gets smaller
Scar, scar can you feel my power
Shoot here and the world gets smaller
Shoot, shoot, shoot motherfucker
Shoot, shoot, shoot motherfucker

Each thing I show you is a piece of my death

No salvation, haha, No forgiveness, haha
No salvation, haha, No forgiveness, haha
No salvation, haha, No forgiveness, haha
No salvation, haha, No forgiveness, haha
No salvation, haha, No forgiveness, haha
This is beyond your experience

[These 2 parts are sung together]

No salvation, haha, No forgiveness, haha
No salvation, haha, No forgiveness, haha
No salvation, haha, No forgiveness, haha
No salvation, haha, No forgiveness, haha
No salvation, haha, No forgiveness, haha
No salvation, haha, No forgiveness, haha

Forgiveness, forgiveness, forgiveness, forgiveness
Forgiveness, forgiveness, forgiveness, forgiveness

I went to god just to see
And I was looking at me, yeah
Saw heaven and hell were lies
When I'm god everyone dies

Scar can you feel my power
Shoot here and the world gets smaller
Scar, scar can you feel my power
Shoot here and the world gets smaller
Scar, scar can you feel my power
Shoot here and the world gets smaller
Scar, scar can you feel my power
One shot and the world gets smaller

Shoot, shoot, shoot motherfucker
Shoot, shoot, shoot motherfucker
Shoot, shoot, shoot motherfucker
Shoot, shoot, shoot motherfucker
