Lyrics

toothless coal

Constant state of degeneration
Lasting cruelties of wish
The dangers of the subtle
Sparkling through
Burning at the stake
Laughing at the flames

Those who live are living off the dead
Fluently in our decadence

Putrid instincts satisfying
Binging vampiric empiricist
Dissimulated symptoms
Shining through
In phase or anti-phase
Burning at the stake
Laughing at the flames

Those who live are living off the dead
Fluently in our decadence
Those who live are living off the dead
Fluently in our decadence

Poetry, it petrifies me
Tying me in knots
The poetry, it petrifies me
Tying me in nots
Burning at the stake
Laughing at the flames
