lyrics

If you set out to destroy yourself
The road can be a long and winding one
Littered with the mangled wrecks
Of everything you ever loved, yeah
And others walk this bitter trail
You'll know them by their desperation
The same contorts your own face
And drives you to your own ruin

We are rotting in a mausoleum
A waste of bodies sprawling deep
Locked together in a fetid union
Is this the product or the seed?
We are squatters in this mausoleum
Narcotics bury us in sleep
Bound together in a fatal union
We are the product and the seed

Such pale flesh your body craves
You'll break it up into a million parts
And fold it back into your brain
But nothing ever penetrates your heart
No matter what you lay with
No stranger ever filled your cup, no
And you never tasted anything
That didn't sour on your tongue

We are rotting in a mausoleum
A waste of bodies sprawling deep
Locked together in a fetid union
Is this the product or the seed?
We are squatters in this mausoleum
Narcotics bury us in sleep
Bound together in a fatal union
We are the product and the seed

We are rotting in a mausoleum
A waste of bodies sprawling deep
Locked together in a fetid union
Is this the product or the seed?
We are squatters in this mausoleum
Narcotics bury us in sleep
Bound together in a fatal union
We are the product and the seed
