lyrics

Oh, it’s back to the old grind. We've been left with all of this sweet, sweet time to kill, and some stained skin would do us well, so let’s cut the old man open and have our fill.
Bound by an oath made under some strange spell, I swore I’d scream until I’d emptied myself, but this hollow bone has made a damn good prison cell, and deep inside that fool still dwells.

So it pays off to keep a couple of lies beneath your tongue. I’ve used them loosely and look what good they’ve done.
Yea, your undying faith is all i've ever had to lean on, cuz there's nothing beneath this skin i'm certain of.

Stained glass lines the hall, and the same dead men keep haunting us all. Our little eyes are rooted in their cracked skulls. Yea, we're bound to this dirty nest we'll only ever see the ashes of.
Son, what's wrong? This song was meant to make you conscience-calm'd…

-----

Everything up to this point has been preparation, a filthy coronation.
And by the way, your voice never came to you, you were born like me with your neck in the noose…

Oh my god, it was always going to be this way, yea, you've handed yourself over to fat fate.
So, my little doll, why're you making that face? We both know I'm a disgrace.
