These roads of contempt
Shadow my fallen ones
Hidden beneath the cracks
In the dress you have worn
And I can't feel anything
Since what seemed so long ago
Where am I to start
And where am I to go?
Your greatest enemy
Is in black and white
Her name is leaves you dead
And you cannot suffice
Those dreary thoughts
Contain a wicked smile
Hatred suddenly redeems
What it cannot feel
We need another one
We need a second son
Another corpse to lay
In another shallow grave
We need another one
We need to hold the gun
Another trigger happy day
Why don't you come and stay?
You cannot seek the truth
The misty eyes conceal
Unearthly feelings
That you have revealed
They know well know
What you're all about
Living off a godsend
That you cannot dismount
We need another one
We need a second son
Another corpse to lay
In another shallow grave
We need another one
We need to hold the gun
Another trigger happy day
Why don't you come and stay?
