[Intro]

Settle down

This won't last long

I've been out

And I want back in

So why not completely fade away?

[Verse 1]

When my bones begin to break

And my head begins to shake

It's my own blood

When my house becomes a cage

And my neighbors turn away

It's my own blood

[Chorus]

Settle down

This won't last long

I've been out

And I want back in

So why not completely fade away?

[Verse 2]

"Where the butcher's hand is home"

Laughs the blade above the throne

It's my own blood

"Oh, this apple makes me sick"

Cries the pig upon his stick

It's my own blood

[Refrain]

And I can't forget the taste

Can't forget the taste of my own tongue

And I can't forget the taste

Can't forget the taste of my own tongue

[Bridge]

And if I had a heart

I'd waste it on you

But it's all together far too long

Since I took you down

[Chorus]

Settle down

This won't last long

I've been out

And I want back in

So why not completely fade away?

[Verse 4]

When we've licked all of the lips

And the salt-stained fingertips

It's my own blood

When our lambs and lions made

Debts no righteous man can pay

It's my own blood

[Outro]

And I can't forget the taste

Can't forget the taste of my own tongue

And I can't forget the taste

Can't forget the taste of my own tongue
