Lyrics

Rotting Piñata

[Intro]

Get on the rodeo that is your life

Check it out

[Verse 1]

Beat on me

Spill my insides out on the ground

Cut on me

I will go when I say die

[Chorus]

I will rot away

I will rot away

I will rot away

Like a rotting piñata

Rotting piñata

Rotting piñata

Rotting piñata

[Verse 2]

See my soul

Cuts a hole into the sky

Standing near

Watch the bird eat out my eyes

[Chorus]

I will rot away

I will rot away

I will rot away

Like a rotting piñata

Rotting piñata

Rotting piñata

Rotting piñata

[Guitar Solos]

[Bridge]

Here lies junk that was me

Here lies the wreck that was me

Oh, God, help me rot

I don't look quite the same

Grab my beating heart

Take it from this broken cage today

Today

I'm rotting

I'm rotting

I'm rotting

I'm rotting

I'm rotting

I'm rotting

I'm rotting

I'm rotting

[Verse 3]

I'm colored red

I'm red and black, I'm twice my size

Don't cry for me

Just pull the plug and let me fly

[Chorus]

I will rot away

I will rot away

I will rot away

Like a rotting piñata

Rotting piñata

Rotting piñata

Rotting piñata

Rotting piñata

Rotting piñata

Rotting piñata
