Couldn't save the savior from savoring
If this life now hurts you, I'm sorry
Can I hold a candle to enduring
Taken in a way that you say
Say you can feel it

Refusal of the anesthetic for this amputee

Beaten back from your position
Comforted by some fucking superstition

Refusal of the anesthetic for this amputee
Cut off parts and cut up pieces
Lord, I know you're looking down
Won't you give me the strength
Pull that trigger, put that bullet through my

[I] never understood
Why you wouldn't want to think
But now I understand perfectly

Its just the anesthetic given to the amputee
Cut off parts and cut up pieces
Lord I know you're looking down
Won't you give me the strength
Pull that trigger, put that bullet through my brain
