Fucked Up - "Paper The House"
Curtain comes down, confession begins, not all of them made it, so I'm glad some of them stayed until the end. To see a self rightous young man turn parody.

Old man life spent. Carved a legacy never made a dent. Thirty three was so complex, screamed the signed from the crucifix. Well, it was me down on bended knees, praying to a god in whom I don't believe
