“Grown cold” You feel a shivering cold While it’s so hot outside You feed your own parasite First he bites, then he cries You fell for the trap, my friend You feel the chill in your bones But it’s so hot outside Nurture the big parasite While he cries and he bites You fell for the trap You fell for the trap, my friend You feel the hate in your guts There grows a seed inside You’re the targeted host You got nowhere to hide You fell for the trap, my friend You feel a shivering cold While it’s so hot outside You feed your own parasite First he bites, then he cries
 You fell for the trap You fell for the trap, my friend Don’t cry
 Don’t cry ‘Cause I will remember this time Don’t cry
 Don’t cry ‘Cause I will remember the time I’ll remember the time I’ll remember See you at my funeral See you at my funeral See you at my funeral See you at my funeral

Rabbits 04:00
Run, girl This ain’t no land for rabbits Run, girl This ain’t no land for rabbits Run, girl This ain’t no land for rabbits Run, girl This ain’t no land for rabbits This ain’t no land for rabbits This ain’t no land for rabbits Run, girl This ain’t no land for rabbits Run, girl This ain’t no land for rabbits Run, girl This ain’t no land for rabbits Run, girl This ain’t no land for rabbits But do they know that Rabbits have got teeth Rabbits have got teeth too? Do they know that Rabbits have grown claws? Rabbits have grown claws, now Do they know that Rabbits have got teeth Rabbits have got teeth too? Do they know that Rabbits have grown claws? Rabbits have grown claws, now Can’t you hear the… Rabbits getting close Rabbits getting close, now?
 Rabbits have got teeth
 Rabbits have got teeth, now
 Rabbits getting close Rabbits getting close, now This ain’t no land for rabbits This ain’t no land for rabbits
 This ain’t no land for preys This ain’t no land for rabbits

Hyenas 03:14
Hyenas Hovering Around Ha-ha-ha In the streets all covered up in snow Your blood has drawn a path And I’ll open your head Just to see what’s in there Like the voices in my brain said The mirror isn’t kind It doesn’t give me any advice The mirror isn’t nice It doesn’t offer any advice How did we ever get this far? How did we ever get this far? Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha Hyenas Surrounding us From above Ha-ha-ha In the streets all covered up in gold Our blood has left a track And they’ll open your head Just to see what’s in there Like the voices on the radio said The mirror isn’t kind It doesn’t give me any advice The mirror isn’t nice It doesn’t offer any advice How did we ever get this far? How did we ever get this far? It’s all I wonder now While you let me drown How did we ever get this far? Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha Hyenas Hovering Above Ha-ha-ha

Lamourlamort 03:39
Who is the prey? Who is the looter? Is there a difference between The victim and the lover? Is it a show Or is it a rite? Do we act together Or do we fall in line? Vous avez dit l’amour? Vous avez dit l’amour? Am I B. Davis? Are you Joan Crawford? There’s a difference between The butcher and the lover Shut up, old friend And spare me the lesson I see no difference between A coffin and a matchbox Vous avez dit l’amour? J’ai entendu la mort Vous avez dit l’amour? J’ai entendu la mort Vous avez dit l’amour? Vous avez dit l’amour? J’ai entendu la mort Vous avez dit l’amour? J’ai entendu la mort Vous avez dit l’amour? J’ai entendu la mort Lamourlamort Lamourlamort Lamourlamort 
Lamourlamort L-amour-la-mort

Nee-need to cut my heart out and open it wide Let all the blood flow and leave this skin behind I want to suck you in my failures Slice all my strings 
Let this meat bag dream 
Let this meat bag sink
 Let this meat bag dream
 Let this meat bag bleed 
Let this meat bag scream 
Let this meat bag dream Let this meat bag sink 
Let the vampires in 
Let the vampires drink - oh yeah!

 Elizabeth Short will get her revenge, you know 
Extinction’s a word on the tip of her tongue
 A killing gaze—like Volonté!
 Burn down this bridge 
Let this meat bag dream 
Let this meat bag sink 
Let this meat bag dream 
Let this meat bag bleed
 Let this meat bag sink 
Let this meat bag dream Let this meat bag sink 
Let the vampires in 
Let the vampires drink - oh yeah!

 We’re looking for a fight
 And we’re ready to break
 We’re looking for a fight
 And we’re ready to break 
We’re looking for a fight
 And we’re ready to break
 Tick-tock-tick-tock-tick-tock-ready to—

 We’re looking for a fight
 And we’re ready to break 
We’re looking for a fight 
And we’re ready to break
 We’re looking for a fight
 And we’re ready to break
 Tick-tock-tick-tock-tick-tock-ready to fail!

 All too little
 Too late 
This is it, my love—this is going to hurt!

There’s an orchestra of lies That still plays inside our heads 
While we trip each other up
 In this dance of marionettes
 And suspects remain untold
 Even though it’s so well-known We’re now tainted to the core
 With no bruises to dwell-on 
We’re all alone here
 We’re all alone within our fear
 We’re all lost, dear
 All alone with our fear

 A procession of lies
 Marching loud inside my head
 While we trip each other up Without mercy nor regrets
 And suspects remain untold
 Even though it’s so well-known I’m now tainted to the core 
You’re now tainted to the core We’re both tainted to the core

 We’re all alone here 
We’re all alone within our fear

 Don’t you dare say that I didn’t try
 Don’t you dare say that
 Don’t you dare say that I didn’t try
 Don’t you dare say that You’ve got no rights, here!

 Creatures sleeping in your brain
 Are the ones that’ll take the blame 
Your bruises glow
 Your bruises glow

 Don’t you dare say that I didn’t try
 Don’t you dare say that 
Don’t you dare say that I didn’t try
 Don’t you dare say that 
You’ve got no rights, dear! 
You’ve got no rights, here!

September kills Just like it heals Cold little grins
 This is the time I fall apart 
Eyes on the ground Eyes on the ground Eyes on the ground This is the line we cross, now

 Gotta plan the attack
 Gotta plan the attack now
 Gonna plan the attack
 Gonna plan the attack

 Pills in, pills out
 Swords in, swords out
 Pills in, pills out 
I’m getting tired now

 Hold on to your secrets
 They’re the best friends you’ve got 
No-longer-logic-needed
 This is no time to fall apart

 Eyes on the ground Eyes on the ground Eyes on the ground This is the line we cross, now

 Gotta plan the attack
 Gotta plan the attack now
 Gonna plan the attack
 Gonna plan the attack

 Pills in, pills out
 Swords in, swords out
 Pills in, pills out 
I’m getting tired now 

Feed the fire
 Feed the fire
 Feed the fire

You’re not paying attention
 But you will Sit up straight
 Absolutely still
 You’re gonna face the truth
 Any time now Gonna stop your laughing Embrace the penance somehow
 It’s time to let the whole world drown
 I’ve lost my home
 So many times before
 It doesn’t touch me,
 It doesn’t touch me anymore I’ve lost my home
 A hundred times before
 You cannot touch me,
 You cannot touch me anymore You’re not paying attention
 But you will
 Sit up straight It’s time to stand still
 You gotta face the truth
 Any time now
 Gonna shut your loud mouth
 Share the blame anyhow
 It’s time to let the whole world drown
 I’ve lost my home
 So many times before
 It doesn’t touch me,
 It doesn’t touch me anymore
 I’ve lost my home
 A hundred times before You cannot touch me, You cannot touch me anymore
 Can’t you see the avalanche coming?
 Can’t you see the avalanche coming?
 From the womb
 To the tomb
 Well, it’s carnage It’s a-carnage
 A carnage
 All the time

For All the eyes that lie ‘Cause our mouths are dry May our spirits rise ‘Cause my mouth is dry Let’s set The cities on fire Let’s set The cities on fire Set The cities on fire Let’s set The cities on fire Cities on fire And You will see the lights Dancing into their tears Since they rot inside ‘Cause our mouths are dry Let’s set The cities on fire Let’s set The cities on fire Set The cities on fire Let’s set The cities on fire
 Cities on fire

 Fire
 Fire
 Fire
 Fire
 Cities on fire
 Cities on fire
 Cities on fire
 Cities on fire
 Cities on fire
 Cities on fire
 Cities on fire
 Cities on—
