"Meltdown Masquerade" lyrics

"Meltdown Masquerade"

Cat and mouse
Fire and house
Love and vows
Man, I'm ready to go
I know the devil always means well
But everybody always means well anyway

Pills, then bed
Wine and bread
Life and death
Man, I'm ready to go
Everybody wants a free ride
But there has never been free ride anywhere

I bet you wish you didn't know
I bet you wish you had a ripcord, well, no shit
If you're still hungry, you can eat this

Why don't you cry to your left now
Tantrum to your right
Spiral your way down
Meltdown masquerade
Step back in shadows
Pray they twist the knife
Spiral your way down
Meltdown masquerade

Pain and growth
Dirt and soap
Love then loathe
Man, I'm ready to go
Nobody ever goes the distance
But if you wanna, you can try me anytime

Stitches, cuts
Breathing sucks
Peaches, lumps
Man, I'm ready to go
Everybody wants a shout out
But when I need one, the silence's deafening

I bet you wish you didn't know
I bet you wish you had a ripcord, well, no shit
If you're still hungry, you can eat this

Why don't you cry to your left now
Tantrum to your right
Spiral your way down
Meltdown masquerade
Step back in shadows
Pray they twist the knife
Spiral your way down
Meltdown masquerade

Oh, I just need a few chemicals, baby, and it'll subside
I'm a sorry sack of shit, but make sure you get my good side, oh
Oh, what shall we do with this hopeless bag of bones?
Just throw it over your shoulder and go

Cry to your left now
Tantrum to your right
Spiral your way down
Meltdown masquerade
Step back in shadows
Pray they twist the knife
Spiral your way down
Meltdown masquerade

I bet you wish you didn't know
I bet you wish you had a ripcord, well, no shit
If you're still hungry, you can eat this
Meltdown masquerade

I bet you wish you didn't know
I bet you wish you had a ripcord, well, no shit
If you're still hungry, you can eat this
Meltdown masquerade
