And their faces are slow And their faces are pale And their faces are raw And the lights come on In the tungsten soaking room Rituals form upon the floor And the doors to the world I leave Have sealed and turned to stone And their bodies are warm And their bodies are loose And their bodies are limp And shadows fall on the floor In the mass of the crowd A sullen face encased in black That lurks along the walls of The chamber that is his death And the dancers all sing And the dancers all laugh And the dancers all kiss In the sticky flesh mass Under the knuckle of The mechanical beast He squints with Rolleiflex eye And smiles with guillotine teeth Smiles with guillotine teeth And the people all look And the people all scream And the people all fall As blood drips from his teeth

You were all I knew I was not alone I was there down on the ground Down on the fields, so below You were the one on the bed Who bled and who bled and who bled You were the one on the bed Who bled and who bled and who bled You were the one on the bed Who bled and who bled and who bled You were the one on the bed Who bled and who bled and who bled You were the one on the bed Who bled and who bled and who bled You were the one on the bed Who bled and who bled and who bled You were the one on the bed Who bled and who bled and who bled You were the one on the bed Who bled and who bled and who bled You were the one on the bed Who bled and who bled and who... I poisoned myself for a kiss A kiss that I knew I'd regret I poisoned myself for kiss A kiss that was all I would get I feel like I miss you again And miss all those things that we had And think of those times that I tried To fix all those things in your head I picture this mother and I Wish I'd not sung from below An image of all that I've cried You were the one on the bed Who bled and who bled and who bled You were the one on the bed Who bled and who bled and who bled Knew that I'd hurt all this time Don't know what to do but to die Knew that I'd regret this time I knew when I did it I'd die Knew when I did it I'd die Knew when I tried this last time And death, death is forever And you will lie down with the sick And you will no longer be afraid And you won't know this length That death, death is forever I knew it would last just forever I knew it would last just forever And now there's no way it will end So I was just laying in bed And I will be here dunking bread And blood, and blood in my head And the blood that runs red in my heart The blood that runs red in my veins Will pour and spew just for not The blood in my chest will burst and stop The blood that runs red in my heart Won't you collide with my life With smoke, smoke on the hill If I had just known it was low I'm just starving to know where I'd be If you, you were still here If you, if you had not bled If you had not bled on that day If you had not bled without me But you then bled in my room My room in ruinous fire Like fire that burns through the ground Like fire that burns and surrounds Like fire that burns to the ground And matches the reds of bled heart
