== Lyrics ==
+
    the fruit is speechless
+
    before our sorceries
+
    the party has just begun.
+
    timelapse and dancing and rotting in place.
+
    and we have reached the high end of low
+
    the high end of low
+
    the high end of low
+
   
+
    you can take me
+
    the grave can take me
+
    the earth is waiting to eat us alive
+
    i love you damaged,
+
    i need human wreckage
+
    i have to look up
+
    just to see hell
+
   
+
    fallen fallen fallen from grace,
+
    now for you
+
    this is why you should run
+
    fallen fallen fallen from grace,
+
    now for you
+
    this is why you should run
+
   
+
    the core of a woman
+
    is where her body
+
    chooses to revolve like a corpse.
+
    centrifugal, melted under the skin,
+
    bacteria...
+
    into the napalm heart i explode,
+
    I explode
+
    I explode
+
   
+
    you can take me
+
    the grave can take me
+
    the earth is waiting to eat us alive
+
    i love you damaged,
+
    i need human wreckage
+
    i have to look up
+
    just to see hell
+
   
+
    fallen fallen fallen from grace,
+
    now for you
+
    this is why you should run
+
    fallen fallen fallen from grace,
+
    now for you
+
    this is why you should run
+
   
+
    the light shines in the darkness
+
    and the darkness will never understand it
+
    the light shines in the darkness
+
    and the darkness will never understand it
+
    the light shines in the darkness
+
    and the darkness will never understand it
+
    the light shines in the darkness
+
    and the darkness will never understand it
+
   
+
    you can take me
+
    the grave can take me
+
    the earth is waiting to eat us alive
+
    love you damaged I need human wreckage
+
    I have to look up just to see hell
+
   
+
    you can take me
+
    the grave can take me
+
    the earth is waiting to eat us alive
+
    love you damaged i need human wreckage
