[Verse 1]
Your mouth is like a suicide
Talking like you never died
Automatic charisma
For your chemical mind
I'll suffer for you
I'll suffer for you
You're kissing me like benzo-caine with your sleeping pill eyes
Melting me down and suck suck sucking my brain

[Pre-Chorus][x2]
I'm going to hate you tomorrow
Because you make me hate you today

[Chorus 1]
I can be the one that you believe in
I can be the liar in your bed
I'll be the suck for your solution
Tell me that your sex isn't dead
Dead
Your sex is dead

[Chorus 2][x2]
I've suffered for you
I've suffered for you
I've suffered for you since the day I was made

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus 1]

[Verse 2]
All so tired
De-sexed and jaded
Hopeless and soulless and bored of the thrill
We make our death/sex/symbol
When we can't fuck then we kill
Dead

[Chorus 2][x2]

Brian Hugh Warner who is better known under his stage name of Marilyn Manson is a musician, painter, actor, multimedia artist, and former music journalist. His stage name is a combination of the names of two American icons, actress Marilyn Monroe and multiple murder conspiracy convict Charles Manson.

I picked that (Marilyn Manson) as the fakest stage name of all to say that this is what show business is, fake. Marilyn Monroe wasn’t even her real name, Charles Manson isn’t his real name, and now, I’m taking that to be my real name. But what’s real? You can’t find the truth, you just pick the lie you like the best. As long as you know everything’s a lie, you can’t hurt yourself.

—Marylin Manson
