EmThere's someone down below blowing you a Ckiss.
They Gwatch from their Dwindows
As Emall arms fall to their sides,
And all eyes Cfix on the Gdeath of Dtomorrow.
And Emyou found everything you need
To make a life compClete.
ComGpletely revoDlting.
And Emthey have safety and relief for sale up the Cstreet
I Gsee you in Dline everydGay
GYou had time to Emwaste, but IC'm not sorryG.
GSuch a basket Emcase, hide Cthe cutlerGy.
GI had time to Emkill, It's Cdead and burGied.
GYou've got guts to Emspill, but no Cone's trust-worthy.
INTRO (x2)
EmThese creatures are waking up in these dark Ctrees.
AGwaiting like Dvultures.
And Emeyes rolled back turned white in time to Cfeed
A Gsalivating Dhunger...for Emyou, and everything they need
To make a death comCplete... comGpletely unDnatural.
And Emsalvation lies, behind those dead Ceyes
that Gwatch while you Dsleep every Gnight and...
GYou had time to Emwaste, but IC'm not sorryG.
GSuch a basket Emcase, hide Cthe cutlerGy.
GI had time to Emkill, It's Cdead and burGied.
GYou've got guts to Emspill, but no Cone's trust-worthy.
GYou had time to Emwaste, but IC'm not sorryG.
GSuch a basket Emcase, hide Cthe cutlerGy.
GI had time to Emkill, It's Cdead and burGied.
GYou've got guts to Emspill, but no Cone's trust-worthy.
