Pantera - Hard Lines, Sunken Cheeks
Album:
Far Beyond Driven, 1994
Genre: Thrash Metal
Lyrics:
As a child I was given the gift to entertain you.
But through blood I inherited a life that could destroy you.
I drink all day. I smoke all day. I've done it all but tap the vein.
These hard lines and sunken cheeks are text book reasons
All these Christians come alive and try to sell you
My soul for a goat, yet I'll outlive the old.
You know it's bad, some may say sad, a hangover is inspiration
Like a junkie I hurt for it
A bad trip, the emptiness.
I never sleep, or always sleep a lack of fulfillment to me is me.
The big picture.
These hard lines and sunken cheeks are part of
What the Christians mean to immortalize my situation.
My soul for a goat. Yet I'll outlive the old.
Embrace some religion. To get close to some
Undivine ejaculation point.
Simply to thy ghost I cling.
Simply to thy ghost I reject.
Simply to thy ghost I give spit.
Tempter, tempting, tempt me.
Molest me.
You know that I'll submit
For this is my weakness and it saves me from relationships with those Christians
You know they'll sell you my soul
For a goat. Yet I'll outlive the old.
