Lyrics[]
Down the rabbit hole!
Your dilemma shows right on your face.
With an inability to not show disgrace.
Run towards the voice and you'll be fine.
Everything was just fine 'till you came by.
Your mind's as putrid as your lies.
Won't be too long 'till your demise.
Your most blatant sin is your fucking pride.
Just look in my veins, I'VE GOT NOTHING TO HIDE!
Lite me up and suck me dry (they'll fucking kill you)
Cut me up and run me through.
It's never too long till you make due
It's down the fucking rabbit hole for you
Could see your bones beneath your skin.
Almost as if they've been drenched in sin.
It's like your eyes belong to the freshly dead.
Sorta makes me wish that I stayed in bed.
Lite me up and suck me dry (they'll fucking kill you)
Cut me up and run me through.
It's never too long till you make due
It's down the fucking rabbit hole for you
Lite me up and suck me dry (they'll fucking kill you)
Cut me up and run me through.
It's never too long till you make due
It's down the fucking rabbit hole for you
"We're here today to assess the crimes of this sad fucker. He has consumed the forbidden pleasures, let his anger overcome him, took pride in what they have done, slothed on potential recovery, lusted over their ignorance and has failed the people who gave a shit about them."
Lite me up and suck me dry (they'll fucking kill you)
Cut me up and run me through.
It's never too long till you make due
It's down the fucking rabbit hole for you
It's down the fucking rabbit hole for you
It's down the fucking rabbit hole for you
It's down the fucking rabbit hole for you
