A remedy for loneliness is shared through misery

And no one cares to hide their face when nobody can see

Sheath your fangs behind your bangs as quiet as can be

Don't let them see what kind of beast is hiding inside of me

People share their laughs and stares to get them through the day

They butter us up with flowery things and make us feel okay

Sacrifices are only a minor price to pay

Let us see what kind of guilt is on the menu today

Hush now dear and quell your fears your silеnce is a prayer

Don't make too much sound thе eyes surround don't you let them hear

Sacrelige what they revere are eaten all away

For acid melts and not much else remains by the break of day

Will constant bloodshed make us feel okay

Is it a crime to feel things for our prey

Isn't it cliche

Feeling this guilt while all of the clock hands count down to doomsday

Nervous and frightened gripping the lighter

Swinging the axe and hugging you tighter

Will we be okay

Why can't you obey

No matter what

I'll get my way

Festering beneath the skin infection takes ahold

No need to lick my wounds because my fate has been foretold

Bare your fangs behind your bangs don't ever let them see

God forbids but flesh forgives this uncontrollable spree

Hush now dear hold back your tears

Don't you want to live

They wander around eyes to the ground to livestock you are bound

Amber eyes look down at her within their bloody grave

Their gazes melt her spirit thin and chase the others away

Odi mater carnes, depone me

Me amo mater carnes, depone me

Will constant bloodshed make us feel okay

Is it why i feel nothing for my prey

Isn't it cliche

Feeling no guilt

Perhaps at the world's end then they will all pay

Repeating nightmare

Gripping the taser

Plunging the knife in's part of our nature

Will we be alright

No way in hell i'll ever let you escape from my sight

Reject their blood don't try to love the rottenness inside

Coursing through veins

My hatred stains the walls with guts and bile

Our rotten game will never end as long as you exist

Let's play together one more time

Don't you try to resist

People say that life's a gift

You only get one

My soul is trapped within your grasp

Chained in an endless dance

Misery loves company within its bloody grave

I would take the cowards way if i had nobody to save

A spiral

An eyeball

A splitting scream inside of my head

And yet it comforts me within my dread

Thousands crawled in side and said you know

That she was better off if she had died

Is it true

Room for two

I do truly love you

You'll come through

Never let it falter

So come rest in peace like a human to the slaughter

Our constant bloodshed made us feel okay

This is why i feel nothing for my prey

Isn't it cliche

Playing the hero

Just try and stop me

You are my mirror

Now no more nightmares

Gripping the cleaver

Ridding the world of horrible creatures

I shot my rounds and took off her head

Wondering still

If she's better off dead

If he's better off dead
