lyrics

You say that your body's a temple, well your treating it more like a tomb
You cover yourself with such beautiful things
Still you can't get away from the gloom
Treasures you'd always imagined bringing more joy to your life
All of these things that you never deserved
Still you can't hide the scars from a knife

Me, well, my body's an ashtray
It's covered with embers and burns
You say it gets better but people like us never learn

As you stare up at the billions of stars and pray for some kind of escape I cast my gaze to the dirt on the floor and I worship my empty beer and full ashtray

You say that your body's a temple
And honestly that might be true
But it never gets better cause people like us love the gloom
