Lyrics

Take me down
To where the baptized drown

So they say
(Growly thing)

Let's lick my wound

So they say I killed a man
So they say I took his head
So they say he was a scourge
In all the world are his children

The best thing
They ever did
In this life
Was let me live

Taken swiftly out of him
Madness helps me save myself
Crooked spoons on every wall
Genocide (?)
Ten guage needles into prayer (?)
Smearing sin everywhere

What else could you need you've taken everything (x2)
(Growly thing)

Let's lick my wound

We feed until we're engorged
Let them sleep
I need some more
Nooses made of human hair
Bodies falling from thin air

We preach and scream forbidden truths
This is it, we're through with you
Choosing to lose my mind
Rape the blade and call it wine

Crooked spoons on every wall
Genocide (?)
Ten guage needles into prayer (?)
Smearing sin everywhere

What else could you need you've taken everything (x2)
(Growly thing)

Take me where the baptized drown

I sleep too deep for you to wake me
I sleep too deep for you to wake me (up)
(I) sleep too deep for you
To ever wake me

My lips I kiss with tiny stiches

What else could you need you've taken everything (x2)

The venom that slips
From your lips
A tiny lie
Shiny in your eyes
Pain in my veins
Shallow
Hollow
Incarcerated
Soul

I sleep too deep for you to wake me up!
