Killing Mary Jane

Take this life (Take this life away piece by piece)
Long forgotten soul
All is lost (All is lost in a flood of grey)
Wasted, burnout, fool

You'd like to see me fall
Answer the bell, the call
You'd like to see me stay
I just can't find my way

I can't seem to find her
Alone while she sleeps
I know death by her true name
Mary Jane
Killing Mary Jane

Face this pain (Face this pain of reality)
That's how the gods can kill
Death from life (Death from life is what she brings)
Access, excess, thrill

This can't be how it ends
Bittersweet, my lonely friend
This can't be all I am
It's time I take a stand

I can't seem to find her
Alone while she sleeps
I know death by her true name
Mary Jane
Killing Mary Jane

Marilyn won't be asking for any worms today
He ain't going hungry either way
The prophet who can lead them, even dangerous from the grave,
won't have the key once you become its slave

Can't you see the writing, the writing on the wall

Marilyn won't be asking for any worms today
Marilyn's not the problem anyway

I can't seem to find her
Alone while she sleeps
I know death by her true name
Mary Jane
Killing Mary Jane
