Let me guide you through the story of a boy and his curse Tiny diamond in a stroller with his first step chasing the hearse Sipping at a cup that's halfway filled But looking forward to the day he pays that drinking bill There's no peace, there's no quiet on this earth He could find it nestled tightly in that womb beneath the dirt. Hurt no more when he turned twenty four He wrote to nail to God's front door that said I want death, death for my birthday I want death, death in the worst way I want death, death for my birthday Don't get me wrong' Cause I love life but life has a boyfriend Bless my soul, I'm out to destroy them I want death, death for my birthday For my birthday He found a high paying job and the love of his life He rode a roller coaster ride of lust on their wedding night They made a baby in unmentionable ways He was ungrateful as a man could be on that blessed day And underneath he thought this is all a phase Just a blip in the existence of a structure vast and great Prayed each night to his cross of charm For the one thing he couldn't afford, just to buy the farm I want death, death for my birthday I want death, death in the worst way I want death, death for my birthday Don't get me wrong' Cause I love life but life has a boyfriend Bless my soul, I'm out to destroy them I want death, death for my birthday For my birthday I'll never lose another friend again Or watch them start a war That's fought for ideals that are dead I'll never have an argument again Because my dust will be your salt My blood will hydrate you all My heart will be your meal And I won't ride the cycle of the way It kills to think and feel, no more, no I want death, death for my birthday I want death, death in the worst way I want death, death for my birthday Don't get me wrong' Cause I love life but life has a boyfriend Bless my soul, I'm out to destroy them I want death, death for my birthday For my birthday One sweet day his heart ceased to beat He fell so fast beneath all our feet Through bugs and snakes Last words he had to say were Help me claw my way to the surface Oh, sweet Lord, You know I deserve this Just one more, just one more birthday
