Lyrics[]
Handprints all over this shattered statue,
I wake to find
A dreaded eleven-year-old girl skips on the walls
Looking a tad bit innocent with each step,
She opens up my ribcage and collects all the bones
Now I feel exposed
How hard it is to become a human again,
After my lovely tissues were robbed from me
Children and adults alike hide far away,
For I am a complete monstrosity
Tears the color of piss welled up in my eyes
The sight of burning terror is all I see
Haunt me no longer
I'll breathe in the richest of venom
Asleep once more,
The five malevolent men wearing their masks doodle all over
They spent all of their lives in a hellish fortress,
With prostitutes on fire and morbidly obese clowns scattered
Their method of awakening me was most indecent,
And then I woke up swallowing everyone's bodies whole
The taste of malformed entities forever cleansed my terribleness
Naked trees,
Very much peak my interest
All of them remind me of my bloodhounds' pride
Even if days and weeks pass quickly,
They can outlive anybody without supplements
Comparisons to Death himself aren't out of left field,
That sick bastard would say the exact words
Time continues to fly
Regaining parts of my humanity,
I might have another chance to restart my life
That child who once stole my prized possession,
Will soon know what it is like to knock on Death's door
That expression has been in use in so many ways
It no longer has a lasting impression
