Lyrics

Death Head

Check my heart
Check my legs
Check the name tag on the bed
I think i had an accident last night
I am safe, i'm not scared
Nearly quite as much as i should be
Tell me if the damage here
Will last forever

Alright
It's understood
This age of ours
Has forces like
A cyclone

Pick your name
Date of birth
Do you live alone?
Your emergency contacts
Didn't answer

This is how i got hurt
Reminded i was no match for
A runaway delivery truck
And a river

Two oh six bones
In the body
Cracked up every one
Tore up my skin in here and i

It's understood
This rage we have
Like love is at
It's solstice

Check my arms
Check my legs
Check my stomach carton head
But your luck says that we won't make it through the night

And i now i know it's certain
