Jesus Christ, that's a pretty face
The kind you'd find on someone I could save
If they don't put me away
Well, it'll be a miracle

Do you believe you're missing out
That everything good is happening somewhere else?
But with nobody in your bed
The night's hard to get through

And I will die all alone
And when I arrive, I won't know anyone

Well, Jesus Christ, I'm alone again
So what did you do those three days you were dead?
Cause this problem's gonna last more than the weekend

Well, Jesus Christ, I'm not scared to die
I'm a little bit scared of what comes after
Do I get the gold chariot?
Do I float through the ceiling?

Do I divide and fall apart?
Cause my bright is to slight to hold back all my dark
And the ship went down in sight of land
And at the gates does Thomas ask to see my hands?

I know you'll come in the night like a thief
But I've had some time alone to hone my lying technique
I know you think that I'm someone you can trust
But I'm scared I'll get scared, and I swear I'll try to nail you back up

So, do you think that we could work out a sign
So I'll know it's you and that it's over so I won't even try?

I know you'll come for the people like me
But we all got wood and nails
Tongue tied to a hating factory

But we all got wood and nails
And we turn out hate in factories
Yeah, we all got wood and nails
And we turn out hate in factories
Yeah, we all got wood and nails
And we sleep inside of this machine

    my comment is about people thinking the lyrics are we dont turn out hate in factories, when it is definitely and we turn out hate in factories" or " and turn turn out hate in factories. just because your gay and you think that jesse would never be that aggressive in his lyrics doesnt mean you're right. i think he's using factories as a metaphor. whoever thinks he means literally factories and manufacturing plants is stupid. factories....meaning everyone sins, everyone being a part of the factory and everyone turns out hate in factories. i mean look at the world today. whether it is turned inward towards are hearts, or toward outward it doesnt really matter, both ways hurt this machine(world or body) we sleep in. if i's turned toward our hearts, subtle bullshit happens. he's using factories to make the song more powerful towards the end.
