! Warning !
! Depressing lyrics dealing with themes of trauma and self-harm !
[Chorus]
In an open grave
Here I am, here I lay
Nobody sees as they bury me
That I'm still alive
They don't care anyway
Neither do I
In my tomb I'll die
[Verse 1]
Deep mental scars
My mind will never heal
I try to live
But life was taken from me
Even in my youth
I felt so old and frail
Through so much abuse
My flesh feels like a cage
[Chorus]
In an open grave
Here I am, here I lay
Nobody sees as they bury me
That I'm still alive
They don't care anyway
Neither do I
In my tomb I'll die
[Verse 2]
It never stops
Memories keeps me awake
Silence is pain
I need to drown out the voices
On my worst days
I hit myself so hard
In a panicked state
Triggered by intense self loathing
[Bridge]
I hate myself so much
I can't convince myself I didn't deserve it
Even when I know it's not the case
Intrusive thoughts haunts me
I don't know how I'll escape
[Ukulele Solo]
Set me free
[Outro]
In an open grave
Here I am, here I lay
Nobody sees as they bury me
That I'm still alive
They don't care anyway
Neither do I
In my tomb I'll die
In an open grave
Here I am, here I lay
Nobody sees as they bury me
That I'm still alive
They don't care anyway
Neither do I
In my tomb I'll die

[Verse 1]
Corpses, in the basement
Vessels, for my spells
Raise them from an early grave
Though their souls I will not save
I just need their flesh and bone to kill my enemies
[Chorus]
The ritual has started
A brew is poured onto the bodies
They start to twitch and turn
A perversion of the natural order
They spring to life
Rotting puppets on my strings
My incantation like a song
To which they all will dance
[Verse 2]
They crawl through the sewers
Hunting their prey from below
You can run as far as you want
But walking corpses never tire
They hunger for your muscles and bones
Yet persists without sustenance
The moment you close your eyes
They'll crawl up and crack your skull
Wicked creatures never sleep
Always waiting to attack
[Chorus]
The ritual has started
A brew is poured onto the bodies
They start to twitch and turn
A perversion of the natural order
They spring to life
Rotting puppets on my strings
My incantation like a song
To which they all will dance
[Bridge]
The end time is near
The end time is near
The end time is near
The end time is here
Die!
[Breakdown]
The end time is here!
The end time is here!
The end time is here!
The end time is here!

[Intro]
(Let go!)
[Verse 1]
The 40's had death, war and atrocities
The 50's was filled with bad policies
The 60's were a time of massive unrest
And the 70's was one giant exploitation fest
The 80's had greed beyond the need to have it well
The 90's was nihilistic brands with images to sell
The oughties was war again and the world is aflame
Now the 2010's have passed and it's still all the same
(The taste of nostalgia)
[Chorus]
Deceptive taste of nostalgia
Stop living in the past and improve today
Deceptive taste of nostalgia
Stop living in the past and improve today
Deceptive taste of nostalgia
Stop living in the past and improve today
Deceptive taste of nostalgia
Stop living in the past and improve today
[Verse 2]
Fond memories of the past are fine and well
But our childhood won't help us when we're living in hell
Learn from the past, it's not worth to glorify
Decades as a concept, let your attachment die
It's easier said than done, but look forward instead
Prepare for what's to come, prevent the rivers from going red
Take with you the good bits, leave the rest all behind
Let's create a better world for body, soul and mind
(The taste of nostalgia)
[Chorus]
Deceptive taste of nostalgia
Stop living in the past and improve today
Deceptive taste of nostalgia
Stop living in the past and improve today
Deceptive taste of nostalgia
Stop living in the past and improve today
Deceptive taste of nostalgia
Stop living in the past and improve today
[Bridge]
(Ow!)
(Let go!)
Let go!
(The taste of nostalgia)
[Chorus]
Deceptive taste of nostalgia
Stop living in the past and improve today
Deceptive taste of nostalgia
Stop living in the past and improve today
Deceptive taste of nostalgia
Stop living in the past and improve today
Deceptive taste of nostalgia
Stop living in the past and improve today
Improve today
[Outro]
Let go
