This song describes the entire process of falling into hedonism. Starting with the act, then slowly descending until you reach hell.
[Intro]
*Horrible screeching*
If I was drunk right now
I'd tell you how...
How we could make this whole process a hell of a lot easier
[Verse 1]
I can't keep my eye from twitching
I can't make sense of this
If it's ringing in my head or in my ears
I cannot tell the difference
I can't keep my eye from twitching
I can't make sense of this
If it's ringing in my head or in my ears
I cannot tell the difference
I'm wishing I was a bit more educated
Then a corruption tops and it more also thinks
You're wishing for a belt of human hair and teeth
You're wishing for a belt of human hair and teeth
You want to know what it takes to make a young man weep
You've researched how to break my bones and skin me alive
You want to put me in a travelling show
With five bodies, zero sleep
[Verse 2: "/Purgatory/"]
Well, that boy's gonna cry fucking loudly
Hanging himself high above these dirty streets
It gets louder
It gets louder, I think it knows my name
I awoke in the middle of the night to find it standing in my door
It gets louder, it knows my name
I awoke in the middle of the night to find it standing in my doorway
[Verse 3: "/Limbo/"]
Is it over yet?
Is this all that there is?
Am I speaking only in vowels here?
Am I a mime?
Am I a swollen tongue?
Am I here?
Am I there?
I am
[Verse 4: "/Hell/"]
Can anybody hear me out there?
Put me down like a horse with a broken leg
An old dog foaming from mouth
Tie a chain around my ankle and take me out to the
The blackest deepest sea
Carry me out to the town square
Put me on the guillotine
[Instrumental: "/The End/"]
