lyrics

I’m sick and tired of you beating your chest
You know best, oh but you know best
I want to feed you to the beast in the wall
But he won’t come calling, no he won’t come at all no
I’m in a box under the coroner’s knife
The blades dance freely likes it’s opening night
And the only thing keeping him from cutting me up
Is that I want you too much.

Hey brother with the bleeding heart
You said I won’t bit hard, no I won’t bite hard
You remind me of a horrible dream
With a recurring theme that just occurred to me
We’re out walking by the railroad track
I go and hack off your head and then I jump on your back
And the only thing keeping me from cutting you up
Is that I want you too much.

I’m sick and tired of you beating your chest
We’re going east and west, oh we’re east and west
Beneath the belly of the beast in the wall
There’s something crawling, something crawled in
Breathe through your mouth, it’s a terrible stench
Hold the flashlight steady ‘cause I’m starting to wretch
And the only thing keeping me from bringing it up
Is that I want you too much.
