I sold my soul
so long ago
& now I'm alone
here in the palace
of sadness &
madness & bone
[ V1. ]
then she said
to the ghosts in her head
I will find the edge
I will force my fingers in
I will sip from the slit
I will rip you to shreds
I will rip you to shreds
[ chorus ]
rape the nun
kill the saint
wear their skin
there is no way to escape
there is no way
you'll escape
[ V2. ]
& I know
the road of truth is lined
with crucified criminals
& suicides
so maybe I'll just
cut my throat
maybe I'll make you
smile when I choke
hybrid creature of decay
there is no possible
way you'll escape
[ chorus ]
rape the nun
kill the saint
wear their skin
there is no way to escape
there is no way
you'll escape
[ tunnel ]
"yesterday upon the stair
I met a man who wasn't there
he wasn't there again today
I wish that man would go away
I wish that man go…"
shadow man
standing in my
room
smearing conspiracies
for me to consume
shadow man has a plan
just wait & see
you'll all be sorry for
fucking with me
(come out & plaaaay)
shadow man
shadow man
please go away
shadow man
shadow man
please go away
I really don't feel
like playing today!
I'm not ignoring you
I'm just plotting your doom
in a world that's
ready to drown
don't stop-we have you now!
[ chorus ]
rape the nun
kill the saint
wear their skin
there is no way to escape
there is no way
you'll escape
