lyrics

have you ever heard of those they call the undead?
the undead?
nothing except the smell of rotten meat
nothing except the smell of rotten meat
well they remind me of
blood
well they remind me of
nothing except the smell of
blood
well
he
dissected and dismembered the body
and removed every last bit of flesh
and then…really this part is superb
he prepared the flesh in any number of ways
marinated
stuffed
pickled
smoked
oh, you do have to admire the man’s ingenuity
sure i killed her
and you know why it doesn’t destroy me?
because she was a girl who walked around
saying to the whole world, “kill me”
“please, somebody kill me”
she was so trusting
so naive
“please, somebody kill me”
it’s blood
kill it
it’s blood
kill it, i’m gonna kill it
he’s got a gun
the smell of rotten meat
it will end
i assure you
in terror
it smells so terrible
and it does have a peculiar odor
like carrion?
like carrion?
yes
nothing except the smell of rotten meat
nothing except the smell of rotten meat
it smells so terrible
and it does have a peculiar odor
like carrion?
yes
yes, just like carrion
it smells so terrible
and it does have a peculiar odor,
doesn’t it?
like carrion?
yes
like carrion?
yes, just like carrion
i turned to the glass again
i turned to the glass again
i could see him over my shoulder
it’s not a pretty sight
those bones
that grinning skull
they fascinate me
they fascinate me
i turned to the glass again
i could see him over my shoulder
it’s not a pretty sight
i turned to the glass again
i could see him over my shoulder but
there was no reflection of him in the mirror
it was blank
he’s literally been ripped apart
it’s not a pretty sight
it felt like
wet hands
it felt like
wet hands
on my shoulders
it felt like
wet hands
on my shoulders, on my throat
well they remind me of
blood
they remind me of
blood
blood
kill it
kill it
he’s literally been ripped apart
kill it
he’s literally been ripped apart
kill it
i’m gonna kill it
sure i killed her
and you know why it doesn’t destroy me?
because she was a girl who walked around
saying to the whole world, “kill me”
“please, somebody kill me”
she was so trusting
so naive
nobody has a right to be that defenseless
it’s blood
he’s got the gun
he’s got the gun
it will end
i assure you
in terror
and fear
those bones
that grinning skull
they fascinate me
