Sally Dear 03:21
Sally comes home and she is all alone Or so it seems It's just as well It's been a long day, a long day But what's this groaning at the door? A horde of voices, indeterminate, But yet they call her name, they seem to say... Sally dear, Sally dear, open the door I'm here to offer you something that you haven't been offered before... I have the cure Consider it a way To skip the suffering and pain Lord knows you've seen your share From this malady... I'm afraid you have a terminal illness and it's called life So, Sally, run upstairs and lock the windows and doors It won't help you if your husband and your kids are already cured Which you've ignored Let us in, I guarantee The treatment will be quick and painful And affordable... I intend to cure the terminal illness that you call life

When I slit my wrists with Occam's razor, sometimes the world just seems so bittersweet But I can't lie to myself Oh no, I slit my wrists with Occam's razor How could a higher power let this bloodshed in the streets? All alone Shacked up in a bomb shelter Still stocked up on supplies From the days when we thought the world would end With a mushroom-shaped cloud and a mustachioed man With his finger on the giant red button It would set the world aflame! Now the world's been set aflame! And they said, don't you know They've been saying it for years The end is coming, yeah, the end is near So then rejoice in the destruction The fulfillment of your prophecies As twisted and mangled as one of the horde Repent, ye sinners, one and all And see where that'll leave you See if it prevents your fall You say, "pray for a better day" But those days are gone In this world of death and decay If there's no tomorrow, then live for today When I slit my wrists with Occam's razor, sometimes the world just seems so bittersweet But I can't lie to myself Oh no, I slit my wrists with Occam's razor Waiting for guidance will be mankind's defeat All alone, still alone I wonder, "what will I become?" Nothing to learn, nothing to gain There's nothing to be done Maybe it's fate that I'll be the last to die The last bastion of hope, the last sane one alive Am I the only sane one left alive? The only one alive? And they said, repeated Like a broken record in my head That girl is trouble and you're better off alone instead And they were right, or so I thought 'Cause now I'm left needing Someone to love, someone, anyone at all Repent, ye sinners, one and all And see where that'll leave you See if it prevents your fall You say, "pray for a better day" But those days are gone In this world of death and decay If there's no tomorrow, then live for today Live for today! Live for today! Live for today! Live for today! When I slit my wrists with Occam's razor, sometimes the world just seems so bittersweet But I can't lie to myself Oh no, I slit my wrists with Occam's razor And the simple solution is admitting defeat

Encounter 03:38
Father, won't you tell me what life is like? What life is like outside these walls? This concrete cage where we reside Cannot contain your sorrow Sorrow, it weighs heavy on your brow How is that the case when you say that we're safe now? I'll sneak out when you're asleep Distract the guard that's at the hatch Pop out my head to take a peek And see what horrors I can catch I know I'm ready for it all If I don't know what we're fighting, then how can I feel safe at all? Hordes of people line the streets With tattered limbs and shattered minds It's such a gruesome sight to see I think one's calling out to me Son, take your one chance to be free And together we can make your living friends just like you and me This feeling? What can it mean? If only this horrid sight could somehow be unseen...

Necrophilia 07:39
When she left I was cold and dead inside Until the day I came to realize That that's the way my perfect mate should be Just a lump of soulless flesh to fuck around with me She don't talk, but she sure moan It ain't love, but I'll never be alone again Necrophilia Necrophilia Necrophilia Necrophilia Don't judge me 'til you've heard what I've to tell The living make your life a living hell They're lousy, they're obnoxious, liars too And when they're finished with the romance, they're finished with you She wants my brains, but I want more You filthy, rotting corpse, baby I'm yours, you whore Necrophilia Necrophilia Necrophilia Necrophilia To be safe, I made sure you were bound and gagged And the remnants of your family, I made sure to fill with lead I didn't have to worry 'bout protection Except from all the maggots in your flesh She wants my brains, but I want more You filthy, rotting corpse, baby I'm yours, you whore Necrophilia Necrophilia Necrophilia Necrophilia Hot zombie love! No strings attached! I'm horny, you're undead Babe, we're a perfect match! Hot zombie love! No strings attached! Don't you know I want to Fuck a zombie in the ass? Necrophilia And in the end, the love you take Is equal to the holes you make ...I'm on a highway to hell
