See You at My Funeral

“Grown cold”
You feel a shivering cold
While it’s so hot outside
You feed your own parasite
First he bites, then he cries
You fell for the trap, my friend
You feel the chill in your bones
But it’s so hot outside
Nurture the big parasite
While he cries and he bites
You fell for the trap
You fell for the trap, my friend
You feel the hate in your guts
There grows a seed inside
You’re the targeted host
You got nowhere to hide
You fell for the trap, my friend
You feel a shivering cold
While it’s so hot outside
You feed your own parasite
First he bites, then he cries
You fell for the trap
You fell for the trap, my friend
Don’t cry
Don’t cry
‘Cause I will remember this time
Don’t cry
Don’t cry
‘Cause I will remember the time
I’ll remember the time
I’ll remember
See you at my funeral
See you at my funeral
See you at my funeral
See you at my funeral

Run, girl
This ain’t no land for rabbits
Run, girl
This ain’t no land for rabbits
Run, girl
This ain’t no land for rabbits
Run, girl
This ain’t no land for rabbits
This ain’t no land for rabbits
This ain’t no land for rabbits
Run, girl
This ain’t no land for rabbits
Run, girl
This ain’t no land for rabbits
Run, girl
This ain’t no land for rabbits
Run, girl
This ain’t no land for rabbits
But do they know that
Rabbits have got teeth
Rabbits have got teeth too?
Do they know that
Rabbits have grown claws?
Rabbits have grown claws, now
Do they know that
Rabbits have got teeth
Rabbits have got teeth too?
Do they know that
Rabbits have grown claws?
Rabbits have grown claws, now
Can’t you hear the…
Rabbits getting close
Rabbits getting close, now?
Rabbits have got teeth
Rabbits have got teeth, now
Rabbits getting close
Rabbits getting close, now
This ain’t no land for rabbits
This ain’t no land for rabbits
This ain’t no land for preys
This ain’t no land for rabbits

Hyenas

Hyenas
Hovering
Around
Ha-ha-ha
In the streets all covered up in snow
Your blood has drawn a path
And I’ll open your head
Just to see what’s in there
Like the voices in my brain said
The mirror isn’t kind
It doesn’t give me any advice
The mirror isn’t nice
It doesn’t offer any advice
How did we ever get this far?
How did we ever get this far?
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha
Hyenas
Surrounding us
From above
Ha-ha-ha
In the streets all covered up in gold
Our blood has left a track
And they’ll open your head
Just to see what’s in there
Like the voices on the radio said
The mirror isn’t kind
It doesn’t give me any advice
The mirror isn’t nice
It doesn’t offer any advice
How did we ever get this far?
How did we ever get this far?
It’s all I wonder now
While you let me drown
How did we ever get this far?
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha
Hyenas
Hovering
Above
Ha-ha-ha

Who is the prey?
Who is the looter?
Is there a difference between
The victim and the lover?
Is it a show
Or is it a rite?
Do we act together
Or do we fall in line?
Vous avez dit l’amour?
Vous avez dit l’amour?
Am I B. Davis?
Are you Joan Crawford?
There’s a difference between
The butcher and the lover
Shut up, old friend
And spare me the lesson
I see no difference between
A coffin and a matchbox
Vous avez dit l’amour?
J’ai entendu la mort
Vous avez dit l’amour?
J’ai entendu la mort
Vous avez dit l’amour?
Vous avez dit l’amour?
J’ai entendu la mort
Vous avez dit l’amour?
J’ai entendu la mort
Vous avez dit l’amour?
J’ai entendu la mort

This Is Going to Hurt
02:59
|

Nee-need to cut my heart out and open it wide
Let all the blood flow and leave this skin behind
I want to suck you in my failures
Slice all my strings
Let this meat bag dream
Let this meat bag sink
Let this meat bag dream
Let this meat bag bleed
Let this meat bag scream
Let this meat bag dream
Let this meat bag sink
Let the vampires in
Let the vampires drink - oh yeah!
Elizabeth Short will get her revenge, you know
Extinction’s a word on the tip of her tongue
A killing gaze—like Volonté!
Burn down this bridge
Let this meat bag dream
Let this meat bag sink
Let this meat bag dream
Let this meat bag bleed
Let this meat bag sink
Let this meat bag dream
Let this meat bag sink
Let the vampires in
Let the vampires drink - oh yeah!
We’re looking for a fight
And we’re ready to break
We’re looking for a fight
And we’re ready to break
We’re looking for a fight
And we’re ready to break
Tick-tock-tick-tock-tick-tock-ready to—
We’re looking for a fight
And we’re ready to break
We’re looking for a fight
And we’re ready to break
We’re looking for a fight
And we’re ready to break
Tick-tock-tick-tock-tick-tock-ready to fail!
All too little
Too late
This is it, my love—this is going to hurt!

Phantom Limb Syndrome

There’s an orchestra of lies
That still plays inside our heads
While we trip each other up
In this dance of marionettes
And suspects remain untold
Even though it’s so well-known
We’re now tainted to the core
With no bruises to dwell-on
We’re all alone here
We’re all alone within our fear
We’re all lost, dear
All alone with our fear
A procession of lies
Marching loud inside my head
While we trip each other up
Without mercy nor regrets
And suspects remain untold
Even though it’s so well-known
I’m now tainted to the core
You’re now tainted to the core
We’re both tainted to the core
We’re all alone here
We’re all alone within our fear
Don’t you dare say that I didn’t try
Don’t you dare say that
Don’t you dare say that I didn’t try
Don’t you dare say that
You’ve got no rights, here!
Creatures sleeping in your brain
Are the ones that’ll take the blame
Your bruises glow
Your bruises glow
Don’t you dare say that I didn’t try
Don’t you dare say that
Don’t you dare say that I didn’t try
Don’t you dare say that
You’ve got no rights, dear!
You’ve got no rights, here!

September Kills

September kills
Just like it heals
Cold little grins
This is the time I fall apart
Eyes on the ground
Eyes on the ground
Eyes on the ground
This is the line we cross, now
Gotta plan the attack
Gotta plan the attack now
Gonna plan the attack
Gonna plan the attack
Pills in, pills out
Swords in, swords out
Pills in, pills out
I’m getting tired now
Hold on to your secrets
They’re the best friends you’ve got
No-longer-logic-needed
This is no time to fall apart
Eyes on the ground
Eyes on the ground
Eyes on the ground
This is the line we cross, now
Gotta plan the attack
Gotta plan the attack now
Gonna plan the attack
Gonna plan the attack
Pills in, pills out
Swords in, swords out
Pills in, pills out
I’m getting tired now
Feed the fire
Feed the fire
Feed the fire

Death by Arrogance

You’re not paying attention
But you will
Sit up straight
Absolutely still
You’re gonna face the truth
Any time now
Gonna stop your laughing
Embrace the penance somehow
It’s time to let the whole world drown
I’ve lost my home
So many times before
It doesn’t touch me,
It doesn’t touch me anymore
I’ve lost my home
A hundred times before
You cannot touch me,
You cannot touch me anymore
You’re not paying attention
But you will
Sit up straight
It’s time to stand still
You gotta face the truth
Any time now
Gonna shut your loud mouth
Share the blame anyhow
It’s time to let the whole world drown
I’ve lost my home
So many times before
It doesn’t touch me,
It doesn’t touch me anymore
I’ve lost my home
A hundred times before
You cannot touch me,
You cannot touch me anymore
Can’t you see the avalanche coming?
Can’t you see the avalanche coming?
From the womb
To the tomb
Well, it’s carnage
It’s a-carnage
A carnage
All the time

Cities on Fire

For
All the eyes that lie
‘Cause our mouths are dry
May our spirits rise
‘Cause my mouth is dry
Let’s set
The cities on fire
Let’s set
The cities on fire
Set
The cities on fire
Let’s set
The cities on fire
Cities on fire
And
You will see the lights
Dancing into their tears
Since they rot inside
‘Cause our mouths are dry
Let’s set
The cities on fire
Let’s set
The cities on fire
Set
The cities on fire
Let’s set
The cities on fire
Cities on fire
Fire
Fire
Fire
Fire
Cities on fire
Cities on fire
Cities on fire
Cities on fire
Cities on fire
Cities on fire
Cities on fire
Cities on—
