THE LAST TEN SECONDS OF LIFE LYRICS

1. Little Black Line

You just tell yourself
Don't look back now
The voices that whisper are just playing tricks on your mind
But those little black lines
Grow to shadows so tall
They swallow you fucking whole

What will it be curious creature?
Don't stop now
You're halfway to heaven

What do you mean?
Everyone feels a little sick
When they're the center of attention

Side effects
Hang from your neck
Where your savior used to swing
Across your chest
The side effects
Took place of the freedom that didn't exist

The only way to end the pain is to follow the little black line

You just tell yourself
Don't look back now
The voices that whisper are just playing tricks on your mind
But those little black lines
Grow to shadows so tall
They swallow you fucking whole

What will it be curious creature?
Don't stop now
You're halfway to heaven

What do you mean?
Everyone feels a little sick
As the center of attention

You tiptoe
Towards the overdose
Raise glasses with strangers who act comatose
To the shadows
That thrive in the limelight
Curious creature
Can you make it out alive?

Side effects
Hang from your neck
Where your savior used to swing
Across your chest
The side effects
Took place of the freedom that didn't exist

The only way to end the pain is to follow the little black line

You just tell yourself
Don't look back now
The voices that whisper are just playing tricks on your mind
But those little black lines
Grow to shadows so tall
They swallow you whole

You're halfway to heaven

Swallow you whole

2. The Drip

Sinister undertones at play
You take the pill so you can stay all night
Poison slowly drips from your lips
Crawl back from where you came

You avoid the questions
Cause you can not handle
What I have to say

No open discussion
It's not what I wanted
Love rots into hate

To fool me once it's such a shame
You try it twice and I will take your fate
Hang you up over the flames
Squeeze out the poison that you spread

It drips from your lips
Making everyone sick
Instead

The poison
It drips from your lips
Making everyone sick

Don't ever show your face

You avoid the questions
Cause you can not handle
What I have to say

No open discussion
It's not what I wanted
Love rots into hate

Everything handed
All thrown away
Backed into a corner
By the choices you've made
Hang you up over the flames
Let you die from the poison you make

Goodbye

Sinister undertones at play
You take the pill so you can stay all night
Poison slowly drips from your lips
Crawl back from where you came

You avoid the questions
Cause you can not handle
What I have to say

No open discussion
It's not what I wanted
Love rots into hate

3. Bloodlust

Where is all the anger for the ones that abuse the cross?
We let them sink their teeth in
And nothing's ever done
Where is the protection
For the defenseless
Trapped in the house of God

Perverse icons
They summon them
We will send them
To the angel of righteousness

Follow the cross to find the worst of sins
No pity
No prayer
For the wicked

Bloodlust
Find them
Bloodlust
Burn them

Where's the fucking outrage?
They should be dragged out into the streets and their heads hung for display
When for years and years
They've created a prison of youth
And there's been
Nothing done, nothing done, nothing fucking done

Evil built
Upon innocent guilt
A prison of youth
Forever trapped in the house of God

Perverse icons
They summon them
We will send them
To the angel of righteousness

Follow the cross to find the worst of sins
No pity
No prayer
For the wicked

Bloodlust
Find them
Bloodlust
Burn them

No pity
No prayers
Bloodlust
Burn

4. Six Feet

Body after body
They never stop turning

My home is built upon the bones
Of the souls who've crossed over

I put them on display for the world to weep
Cover their bruises
Scars and ruses
Paint their faces
To show the pain has stopped
Feed them to the Earth
In its belly they will rot
How much land does one man need?

Dressed to impress for unknown places
No more fighting the hurt you're facing

My home is built upon the bones
Of the souls who've crossed over

Body after body
They never stop turning

Body after body
Find my home
See a little bit of myself
In each passing one

Poets, sinners, saints, abusers
Lovers, losers, kings, martyrs

How much land does one man need?
Six feet from his head to his heels
Six feet

Dressed to impress for unknown places
No more fighting the hurt you're facing

I put them on display for the world to weep
Cover their bruises
Scars and ruses
Paint their faces
To show the pain has stopped
Feed them to the Earth
In its belly they will rot

How much land does one man need?
Six feet from his head to his heels

5. The Violent Sound

Lost in the violent sound

You can circle the Earth
And not find one place
That the human condition
Hasn't poisoned with hate
Wide open eyes
Ear to the ground
Terror amplifies
The violent sound

Why do I think that we can change this world?
How?
By raising our voices in tune

Hell is here not beneath our feet
What type of life will you lead?

Lost in the violent sound
It breaks me down
I'm torn forever

We can change the way of the world
By raising our voices in tune

The never-ending chaos on the TV screen
Makes us numb to the evil that continues to breed
As every city
And every town
Gets drowned out
By the violent sound

Lost in the violent sound
It breaks me down
I'm torn forever

Hell is here not beneath our feet
What type of life will you lead?

6. Casanova

You better get on your knees and beg
Because the Anti's back in town

I pour gasoline out
Then hold a match over your head
As your flesh starts to burn
Maybe you will listen then

I'm not a monster
But you can bet I dream about it constantly
Slithering in and out of their heads
Feasting on them
When they least expect

I'm not a monster
But you can bet I dream about it constantly
Hiding in wait under their beds
Feasting on them
When they least expect

You better get on your knees and beg
You better
You better
You better

You better get on your knees and beg
Because the Anti's back in town

You better get on your knees and pray

Casanova
Of evil motive
Is looking for lovers to fry

I'm not a monster
But you can bet I dream about it constantly
Slithering in and out of their heads
Feasting on them
When they least expect

I'm not a monster
But you can bet I dream about it constantly
Hiding in wait under their beds
Feasting on them
When they least expect

Take my body home
My heart's turned to stone
Evil I can't fight
Save me from the fire

7. Bag Of Bones

Here's the deal
I'm just another young man in a fucked up reel by reel
So far from perfect, twenty-six, asking...
Is this worth it?

But how's this sound?
Plug it in, turn it up, play it loud, till your eardrums howl
Break your fucking neck
Put it all on deck
Be who you want to be

I'm out to get mine
Out to get mine
Yeah I'm out to get mine

Oh hell yes
I want to do it all
Feel the bass
Shake the floor
Pure rock and roll

Oh hell yes
I want to feel it all
Feel the bass
Shake the floor
Fucking rock and roll

Too far to turn back now
Too far to turn around

I'm not coming back

I'm out to get mine
Yeah I'm out to get mine
I'm out to get mine

Here's the deal
I'm just another young man in a fucked up reel by reel
So far from perfect, twenty-six, asking...
Is this worth it?

But how's this sound?
Plug it in, turn it up, play it loud, till your eardrums howl
Break your fucking neck
Put it all on deck
Be who you want to be

Oh hell yes
I want to do it all
Feel the bass
Shake the floor
Pure rock and roll

Oh hell yes
I want to feel it all
Feel the bass
Shake the floor
Fucking rock and roll

I don't want to be an old bag of bones
Who regrets all the things that they've never done
No old bag of bones
My worst fear
To regret all the things I've never done

I want to do it all
Feel the bass
Shake the floor
Pure rock and roll

8. Switch

Pretty please
Never change
So damn perfect
In the most terrible way
Impure intentions
Light up your face
Not so fast
I plan to make you mine

Would you feel pain for me?
Beg for mercy, pray for more, forever ache for me

Would you feel pain for me?
Hammer the nails with pride?
Beg for mercy, pray for more, forever ache for me

Have we bled enough
For bare skin to rise
Never-ending addiction
To this high

You're not here for love
Or to recreate your dreams
I am your master
This can set you free

Pretty please
Put on my face
Lock the door
Don't let them in this place
Head first
With no disgrace
Not so fast
I plan to shoot you down

To lift you up
To erase the denial
Of what you are
Then would you still feel pain for me?
Hammer the nails with pride?
Beg for mercy?
Pray for more forever?

Hammer the nails

Hammer the nails
In front of the world
I want to see wounded flesh
Baptized in dirt
You wouldn't sacrifice
So you don't deserve shit
Prove it to me
Quit parading for worth

9. Blind Faith

Don't act like a holy spirit's ever been here
Don't dare act like a holy spirit's been there for you

As you fight
Through the dark
The questions
Start to form
How much suffering has to be sold for belief to take hold?

Don't act like a holy spirit's ever been here
Don't dare act like a holy spirit's been there for you

Blind faith
Decays
To the sky
Arms raised
How much suffering has to be sold for belief to take hold?

No strength in passed down judgement
Just extension of pride
The one with the concrete convictions
Has the most to hide
Stone by stone
Brick by brick
The old mindset will lose its grip
A sonic crusade
To end the reign
Of an ancient jaded set of ways

Don't act like a holy spirit's ever been here
Don't dare act like a holy spirit's been there for you

Don't act like a holy spirit's been there for you

Stone by stone
Brick by brick
The old mindset will lose its grip

Blind faith
Can't save
A soul that is rotted through

Blind faith
Won't save
A person who's lived like you

10. Wise Blood

Wilted flowers line the way
They dance in the mud and sway in the rain
They can sense the earthquake
Days before I do

I want to be buried
In my own
Little grave
Without any flowers
Without any name

Same old story
New tragic dance
Move with my fingertips
Always locked in a trance

Can't drown my pride or hang my head
Hound of hell
Evil motherfucker
I'd rather keep all my conversation for when I'm dead
Lone wolf
Evil motherfucker

Self hating seeds
Planted long before me
Have grown to split the center of my being
Wise blood
Must run through my veins
Pumping and swirling
Making me sing
Wise blood
Have no doubt
Wise blood
Inside and out

Wise blood

Can't drown my pride or hang my head
Hound of hell
Evil motherfucker
I'd rather keep all my conversation for when I'm dead
Lone wolf
Evil motherfucker

Wilted flowers line the way
They dance in the mud and sway in the rain
They can sense the earthquake
Days before I do

I want to be buried
In my own
Little grave
Without any flowers
Without any name

Same old story
New tragic dance
Move with my fingertips
Always locked in a trance

Can't drown my pride or hang my head
Hound of hell
Evil motherfucker
I'd rather keep all my conversation for when I'm dead
Lone wolf
Evil motherfucker

When the sky folds up
And then the moon falls down

As the seas dry up
To reveal hollow ground

I'll still be me

Wise blood

11. Social Suicide

Smile wide
All eyes are on you
For standing out
Among the crowd
That surrounds you

Kill
The modern life
Fuck
The hate you find
Hold
The strength inside
Kill
The modern life

Social suicide
Welcome to the witch hunt

Kill
The modern life
Fuck
The hate you find
Hold
The strength inside
Kill
The modern life

Smile wide
All eyes are on you
For standing out
Among the crowd
That surrounds you

Social suicide
Welcome to the witch hunt

Live and die
How you want
By your own rules
Never compromise

12. Last Words

Frail fixture
Holding a hurricane within
Loaded vessel
Slowly growing thin
Waves radiate from every line wrote
Bellow out echoes
With last words spoke

The fury begins to spin
Blocking out the light
Pulling me back in

The fury begins to spin
Blocking out the light
Pulling everything in

What an undeserving lesson
About patterns that are learned
How they won't let go
Breaking down the doors for any kind of feeling
In a place abandoned long ago

The transfer of hurt
When leaving this Earth
It's haunting, I'm falling
The glow from the shelter
Is my only focus
It's calming, It's calling me back

Frail fixture
Holding a hurricane within
Loaded vessel
Slowly growing thin
Waves radiate from every line wrote
Bellow out echoes
With last words spoke

The fury begins to spin
Blocking out the light
Pulling me back in

The fury begins to spin
Blocking out the light
Pulling everything in
