It’s What It’s (Hell reprise)

I was lying in bed
On Halloween night
Holding my monsters
Up to the light

Vampires, skeletons
All the terrible things
That an honest assessment
Of reality brings

The banshee started ringing
So I picked her up
She spilled her guts
Into my half-empty cup

I drank it all down
Thought it caused me great pain
Another two-headed medicine
Taking a piss in my veins

So get on your knees
And kiss my tits
I do as I please
It's what it's

Exiled from reason
On an island of doubt
I found myself lost
I couldn't get out

Surrounded on all sides
By a fiery sea
I ran like a river
Into a tree

I cursed the waters
Even as I kissed the flames
I bled the sun dry
Until the sky turned grey

For out of the abundance of the heart
The mouth spews forth
Like the difference in true
And magnetic north

So get on your knees
And kiss my tits
I do as I please
It's what it's

I awoke from the vision
Exhausted and spent
On a bed of brambles
All twisted and bent

Songbirds were picking
At the bones of the dead
In the burial ground
Between my heart and my head

So I picked up my guitar
And started to kill
My useless emotions
Against my will

You were my lover
You were my friend
And I'll love you forever
But I'll never see you again

So get on your knees
And kiss my tits
I do as I please
It's what it's
