"You better watch yourself" "You better watch yourself" Yeah [Verse 2:] It's like a stranger had a key, came inside my mind And moved all my things around But he didn't know snakes can't kneel or prey Try to break my psyche down Yeah [Pre-Chorus:] It's as if my feathers were wax And your artillery lead Do you like our bed? Do you like our bed? [Chorus:] Deep six, six, six feet deep Deep six, six, six feet deep Yeah [Verse 2] [Pre-Chorus x2] [Chorus] [Verse 1] [Bridge 4x:] Love is Evol Con is confidence Eros is sore Sin is sincere Sin is sincere Sin is sincere Sin is sincere [Chorus] [Verse 1]

We've only reached the third day of our seven-day binge And I can already see your name disintegrating from my lips We've only reached the third day of a seven-day binge I can already see your name disintegrating from my lips I can't decide if you're wearing me out or wearing me well I just feel like I'm condemned to wear someone else's hell We've only reached the third day of our seven-day binge I can already see your name disintegrating from my lips I've got bullets, in the booth Rather be your victim, than be with you I got bullets, in the Boothe Rather be your victim, than be with you I've done reached the third day of a seven-day binge I can already see your name disintegrating from my lips I'd rather be your victim, than to be with you Rather be your victim, than be with you

I don't know if I can open up I've been opened enough I don't know if I can open up I'm not a birthday present I'm aggressive regressive The past is over And passive scenes so pathetic Are we fated, faithful, or fatal? Are we fated, faithful, or fatal? I'm feeling stoned and alone like a heretic And I'm ready to meet my maker I'm feeling stoned and alone like a heretic I'm ready to meet my maker Lazarus has got no dirt on me Lazarus has got no dirt on me And I'll rise to every occasion I'm the Mephistopheles of Los Angeles Of Los Angeles Don't know if I can open up I been opened too much Double-crossed glossed over in my pathos Are we fated, faithful, or fatal? Are we fated, faithful, or fatal? I'm feeling stoned and alone like a heretic And I'm ready to meet my maker I feel stoned and alone like a heretic I'm ready to meet my maker Lazarus has got no dirt on me Lazarus has got no dirt on me And I'll rise to every occasion I'm the Mephistopheles of Los Angeles Of Los Angeles Are we fated, faithful, or fatal? Are we fated, faithful, or fatal? I'm feeling stoned and alone like a heretic And I'm ready to meet my maker I'm feeling stoned and alone like a heretic I'm ready to meet my maker I'm feeling stoned and alone like a heretic And I'm ready to meet my maker I'm feeling stoned and alone like a heretic I'm ready to meet my maker Lazarus has got no dirt on me Lazarus has got no dirt on me And I'll rise to every occasion I'm the Mephistopheles of Los Angeles Of Los Angeles I'm the Mephistopheles of Los Angeles

You're a paper doll I fold you how I want You're not my noose I tied this knot If this won't be Our fingers locked together This is total war Method not objective Cannot say, I'm breaking the rules If I can glue em back together Cannot say, I'm breaking the rules If I can glue them back together Cannot say, I'm breaking the rules If I can glue them back together! Back together! [Chorus x2:] Scars on my fingers, bruises on neck Crashin' my trains, warship my wreck Scars on my fingers, bruises my neck Crashin' my trains, warship my wreck Scars on my fingers, bruises my neck Crashin' my trains, warship my wreck warship my wreck! warship my wreck! Cut the hands off Then kamikaze into your soul Kamikaze into your soul... [Chorus x2:] Scars on my fingers, bruises my neck Crashin' my trains, warship my wreck Warship my Wreck! Scars on my fingers, bruises my neck Crashin' my trains, warship my wreck Warship my wreck! Scars on my fingers, bruises my neck Crashin' my trains, warship my wreck warship my wreck! Scars on my fingers, bruises my neck Crashin' my trains, warship my wreck Cannot say, I'm breaking the rules If I can glue em back together Cannot say, I'm breaking the rules If I can glue them back together Cannot say, I'm breaking the rules If I can glue them back together!

The human wheel, that force unseen The offspring of a deathless soul Can hew away to any goal The walls of granite intervene Be not in patient delay, but Wait as one who understands When spirit rises and demands The Gods are ready to obey Take my money like an ugly bee Covered in my money, too dumb to see My Fibonacci blinded by your jealousy I'm happy to pull my veins out and braid a rope I don't need hope to know that you'd die slow I'm happy to pull my veins out and braid a rope I don't need hope to know that you'd die slow [Hook:] You are what you beat, yeah You are what you beat, yeah [Chorus:] And then we met our brand new parents But they didn't know it yet So we chanted, "WED, WED, WED!" But they didn't know they were dead Didn't know they were dead Then the witch tied her fruit t a stick When our coin was looking too thin It's like a winter in Hades, we drooled for the ladies As if the apple was owned by God [Chorus] Slave never dreams to be free Slave only dreams to be King Slave never dreams to be free Slave only dreams to be King [Hook]

Don't want your God and His higher power Want power to get higher And I'm not allowed, I'm not allowed When you look up, what will you see? Don't need a motherfucker looking down on me Motherfucker looking down on me Least I know wherever I go I got the devil beneath my feet Least I know wherever I go I got the devil beneath my feet Beneath my feet Don't bring your black heart to bed When I wake up you best be gone Or you'd better be dead [2x] This what happens when you put an apple on your head You could laugh all day but you can't laugh the darkness away Can't laugh the darkness away Too many pills and not enough kills I need a bug out, sold that big house Neva take me alive, never take me alive, never fucking take me alive It's better to be blamed for robbing Peter Than guilty for paying Paul Don't bring your black heart to bed When I wake up you best be gone Or you'd better be dead [2x]
