[Verse]
Another day of being the floor
Gotta scrub away the grime before they come in the door
The tone never stops, it's cacophonous pain
Degrading my mind, taking power from my brain
We can't take away the cords or the freedom of time
All that we can do is just pile on the slime
And when it dribbles on down, running past the cloth
Then we start it all again, mix it in with the broth
[Chorus]
There was a hole here, but it's not for you
The scent is getting thick when you start to chew
There's nothing I can do, take what you deserve
No reservations here, well you got some nerve
Some nerve
Some nerve
Some nerve
[Verse]

The scent is getting thick when you start to chew
There's nothing I can do, take what you deserve

[Chorus]
There was a hole here, but it's not for you

There's nothing I can do, take what you deserve
No reservations here, well you got some nerve
