The Point

Marilyn Manson · Other Songs - Marilyn Manson

SLove,
Blood,
War,
Desire,
Deceit,
Control,

There's Kool-Aid here for everyone,
Stick around until I'm gone,
I love you so it hurts,
For whatever that it's worth,

And all the dark will fade away,
The rumors and the lies,
And no one will remember if you even said goodbye,

What's the point in dying,
When the world think's you're already dead,
What's the point in crying,
With the rain beating down on your head,

Greed,
Hate,
Lust,
Divide,
Disgust,
Distrust,

Happiness comes in a pill,
Off a 15 story window sill,
You love me till I die,
Or at least until I try,

The afterwards don't mean a thing,
The problems still persist,
So think about the stories and the bullshit that you'll miss,

What's the point in dying,
When the world think's you're already dead,
What's the point in crying,
With the rain beating down on your head,
What's the point in lying,
If no one believes what you say,
What's the point in dying,
If you're already dead anyway,
If you're already dead anyway,
If you're already dead anyway,

I hope you will remember me,
At least say so to comfort me,
You say goodbye so easily,
Its now or never,
It may seem really pitiful,
But life became too beautiful,
The pain of love unbearable,
It's now or never,
Gone Forever.
