Lyrics
(Ronnie Radke:)
I can't stop from spinning
Down the rabbit hole
The deeper that you push
The deeper I will go
They said that God's a woman
I'll worship you the same
Cause all I do is think about
Saying your name in vain
You might as well marry me
My sinful confession
You're my obsession (yeah)
If God is a woman
Then God is a weapon (yeah)
(Marilyn Manson:)
I can't stop from sinning
My halo's just a hole
The deeper that I get inside you
The deeper you will fall
They say that God's a weapon
Well I'm a hand grenade
Try to take this ring from me
Watch me detonate
You might as well bury me
(Ronnie Radke:)
My sinful confession
You're my obsession (yeah)
If God is a woman
Then God is a weapon (yeah)
My sinful confession
You're my obsession
If God is a woman (Manson: God is a...)
Then God is a weapon (Manson: God is a...)

Trivia
- Marilyn Manson, as the lyricist, clearly have made references to his own songs in the second verse. For example, the lines "Well I'm a hand grenade / ... / Watch me detonate" closely resemble the line "And I was a hand grenade that never stopped exploding" from the song "Mechanical Animals", and the line "My halo's just a hole" echoes "And my halo was a needle hole" from the song "Target Audience (Narcissus Narcosis)".
- Because of modern censorship, a naked woman in a music video can't have nipples on her breasts — exactly the same trick Marilyn Manson had to use on the cover of his Mechanical Animals album.
- Among other visual similarities, one can also highlight Ronnie Radke emerging from the water, much like Manson did in the "Disposable Teens" music video.
- Some shots from the music video also resemble photoshoots from Manson’s The Golden Age of Grotesque era. In one of them, he posed holding a mirror, with a blackface on — now echoed in the video by a PVC-mask-covered face reflected in the mirror.
