lyrics

I don’t want to resurrect you
I can’t raise you by force
you’re in that rigor mortis

I don’t mean to ever be rude
but did someone drug you?
was that someone you?

just keep doing what you do when doing you
stay the corpse
all you
just stay the corpse
rot!

I don’t need to tap and drain you
I can see it’s been completed
was it everything you needed?

first you have to play the corpse
then you learn to stay the corpse
body and mind can be divorced
you won’t have to be distorted anymore for me

Stay down
lie still
like we all will
rot!
