When Christopher slinks home at night   He cuts himself by candlelight   Once for sorrow, twice for pity   So much temptation in this city   With each slice, red tears escape    from the cuts the razor makes   One for love and two for pain   The Lamb of God washed down the drain         And how do you exorcise your demons?   Do you watch them flow from your body with each cut?   With each tear, you repair what others have left to die   No more tears ‘cause now you’ve found a new way to cry         Amanda’s draped across the bar   She smiles nicotine and tar   Mascara married to her tears   Her face much older than her years   She finds a new love every night   It’s one that fades with each dawn’s light   Life is pain and love can sting   and promises don’t mean a thing         And how does it feel to wake up every morning?   The mask so tight it draws the breath from your life   Never naked or ugly again, you feel fine   No more tears cause now you’ve found a new way to cry
