Wishers Lose Copper Dreamers Lose Everything Lyrics

[Verse]
It started last night when I ate a tab
She gave me top till her throat sore
I thought I was living in happy land
Then I woke up it was all gone
I sunk to the bottom the floor of the ocean
I woke up the body of Plato
He showed me Atlantean holy land
And gave me the key to mankind's hope
I wanted to say so many things but I never did
I wanted to say that you're the reason I escaped my sins
I would do pills if they made the pain go away
But you know they don't
Popping and snorting ain't nothing but band-aids
Rip it off and you got no hope
Going 85 in a 65 tryna make my way on through the night
Red and blue lights right behind me make me think back
To those crucial nights in a Miami county cell
Where I realized that I will become somebody not a waste of a body
Violence isn't the way (Isn't the way)

[Chorus]
I don't want to be, so I'll drown in the lake
I tried everything, but I'm still not really free
Drown in the lake, we all drown in the lake
Wishers lost a penny, dreamers lost everything
I don't want to be, so I'll drown in the lake
I tried everything, but I'm still not really free
Drown in the lake, we all drown in the lake
Wishers lost a penny, dreamers lost everything
[Interlude: Bill O'Reilly & Marilyn Manson]
What are you trying to get across in the lyrics to these songs?
It's always about being yourself and not being ashamed of being different or thinking different. I try and take everyone's ideals, common morals, flip them around, make people look at them differently, question them
You're a minister in the Church of Satan, right?
I think everybody's got a presentation. Everybody looks a certain way because they want to convey a certain image. You look a certain way because you want people to listen to you in a certain way
Anything can be misinterpreted. People can look at Christ on a cross and think, This is an image of murder, this is violent, this has sexual imagery in it. And it just -- I think it's my job as an artist to be out there pushing people's buttons and making them question everything

[Chorus]
I don't want to be, so I'll drown in the lake
I tried everything, but I'm still not really free
Drown in the lake, we all drown in the lake
Wishers lost a penny, dreamers lost everything
I don't want to be, so I'll drown in the lake
I tried everything, but I'm still not really free
Drown in the lake, we all drown in the lake
Wishers lost a penny, dreamers lost everything
