[Verse 1]
My dirty dreams are filled with ghosts
Drowning in a shallow puddle
My muck and mud is thicker than the quickest of my demons

[Refrain]
Fast and ghastly
Fast and ghastly
Fast and ghastly
And unforgiving

[Pre-Chorus]
Someone's gonna die soon
Don't get in the way
You're not the hero
You're not the hero

[Chorus]
You're dead longer than you're alive
You're dead longer than you're alive
You're dead longer than you're alive
You're dead longer than you're alive

[Verse 2]
First class on the astral plane
Just 'cause you're famous doesn't mean you're worth anything
In this world or the next one or the one before

[Refrain]
'Cause I'm not forgiving
Not forgiving (Said I'm not forgiving)
Not forgiving (Said I'm not forgiving)
I'm fast and ghastly (Fast and ghastly)

[Pre-Chorus]
Someone's gonna die soon
Don't get in the way
You're not the hero
Not the hero

[Chorus]
You're dead longer than you're alive
You're dead longer than you're alive
You're dead longer than you're alive
You're dead longer than you're alive
You're dead longer than you're alive
You're dead longer than you're alive
You're dead longer than you're alive
You're dead longer than you're alive

[Post-Chorus]
Black is real, you can't hide
Hearts are the darkest
When you see without the sun
Black is real, you can't hide
Hearts are the darkest
When you see without the sun

[Chorus]
You're dead longer than you're alive
You're dead longer than you're alive
You're dead longer than you're alive
You're dead

[Post-Chorus]
Black is real, you can't hide
Hearts are the darkest
When you see without the sun
Black is real, you can't hide
Hearts are the darkest
When you see without the sun

[Chorus]
You're dead longer than you're alive
You're dead longer than you're alive
You're dead longer than you're alive
You're dead

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
