[Verse 1]

A last-minute decision

Lay it all on the line

Glass-pipe recollections of Antichrist

The nominees all on fire

Cash money up front

We're all part of the scam

Dead stars at the end of the rope

A fake miracle to behold

[Pre-Chorus]

Life is bright

It'll take out your eyes

Burn these lies

Cut away the ties

[Chorus]

Ninety-nine, 99 knives

Ninety-nine, 99

Ninety-nine knives inside

[Verse 2]

Separate the symptoms

From the real disease

A pale, ghostlike rendition of consequence

The irony covers the crime

Reenact trauma

A safe pattern to fuse

Preteens giving head in the back room

A family built on abuse

[Pre-Chorus]

Life is bright

It'll take out your eyes

Burn these lies

Cut away the ties

[Chorus]

Ninety-nine, 99 knives

Ninety-nine, 99

Ninety-nine knives inside

[Pre-Chorus]

Life is bright

It'll take out your eyes

Burn these lies

Cut away the ties

No one gets out alive

[Chorus]

Ninety-nine, ninety-nine (ninety-nine)

Ninety-nine knives inside (ninety-nine)

Ninety-nine, ninety-nine

[Outro]

Ninety-nine hopeless, fucking useless

Empty ways to die
