Let me guide you through the story of a boy and his curse
Tiny diamond in his stroller with his first step chasing the hearse
Sippin' at a cup that's half way filled
But looking forward to the day he pays that drinking bill

There's no peace, there's no quiet on this earth
He confided, nestled tightly in that womb beneath the dirt
Hurt no more and when he turned 24
He wrote a note 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

From the 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 [bad word] vast and great
Pray each night to his cross of a 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 off
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
