lyrics

King shark; dead Sea.
Polish your trophy
Couldn't earn a smile in any other pond.
Speed freak; let's turn him “neat”
Reaper will never get to me
Find a plot and catch up on some sleep

“Honey, don't force it. That shit is played out.”
But she can't afford to see how it plays out
You wouldn't ignore a punch in the face
But the smell of death from our neighbor’s house should dissipate any day.

Wash, rinse, repeat. Baby's in the kitchen sink.
Crying ‘cause a watched pot never cools.
It's hard to defend what you never had said
Safer to agree when he insists

“Honey, don't force it. That shit is played out.”
But she can't afford to see how it plays out
You wouldn't ignore a punch in the face
But the corpses on the street eventually all get hauled away.

Cornered? We’ll see...
Trap door no release
While we were playing games the villain got away.
Error apparent, how much to repair it?
Keep the change I'll only lose it.

What higher forces can show me the way out?
I can't believe the way that it played out
I cannot hide my battered face
So I better look alive since you won't look away
Look alive don't look away
