The Purist’s Drug

[Chorus]
If murder is the purist's drug
And the needle is the new black
Take your steps carefully
Slip into the gray
The learning is still incompleted
No pressure
Only lessons
Serve you still

[Verse 1]
Who do you follow
In a world so hollow?
The last of the flesh
Has been picked away
And we decay

[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me something pure
Tell me the truth
In fractured future dreams
I am the used

[Chorus]
If murder is the purist's drug
And the needle is the new black
Take your steps carefully
Slip into the gray
The learning is still incompleted
No pressure
Only lessons
Serve you still

[Verse 2]
Who have you wasted
With your mistaste
And your velvet tongue?
Who have you disgraced
And erased
With your lies?

[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me something pure
Tell me the truth
In fractured future dreams
I am the bruised

[Chorus]
If murder is the purist's drug
And the needle is the new black
Take your steps carefully
Turn into the gray
The learning is still incompleted
No pressure
Only lessons
Shall serve you still

[Solo: Loomis]

[Verse 3]
Where is there sorrow
Within tomorrow
That never dies?

[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me something pure
Tell me the truth
In fractured future dreams
I am the used

[Chorus]
If murder is the purist's drug
And the needle is the new black
Take your steps carefully
Slip into the gray
The learning is still incompleted
No pressure
Only lessons
Shall serve you still
