here is the evidence , human existence

’splained in by next two damn boxes

and i left them on the floor and ran for dear life through the door , awwwe

verse 2 : [ use verse 1 chords ]
useless objects gather storm or shit
didn’t silence shed through all your life’s supplies
when all you need’s a coffin and your sunday best , smarten up the end
at the front gate where the lord awaits
one bite of love from a holy ghost
an eternity of suffering in company of all those christian men
chorus 2 : [ use chorus 1 chords ]
i didn’t need these things , i didn’t need them , awwe
the point is hard to fax , a mediocre past
so i shed my clothes , i shed my flesh down to the bone and burn the rest
i didn’t need these things , i didn’t need them , awwe
took them all to bits , turn them outside in
and i left them on the floor and ran for dear life through the door , awwwe
never need these things , never need them , awwwe
its just you i need , you are here when he . . .
the things are only things and nothing brings me life , bring me , awwwe
never need these things , never need them , awwwe
never going back , and we can drop the past
and we’ll leave them on the floor and run for dear life through the door , aww
