On the 19th of February 2012 Mesquida posted a picture of a roasted bird on a platter with the caption "Shooting Marilyn Manson new music video :)".[2]

Crushing, cheating, changing Am I deaf or dead? Is this constricting construction or just streets with rusty signs of something violent coming?
This'll hurt you worse than me I'm weak, seven days, I'm weak Don't run from me I won't bother counting one, two, three
I don't know which me that I love Got no reflection I don't know which me that I love Got no reflection
Show myself how to make a noose A gun's cliché and a razor too I'm not a deathshare-vacation-vacant-station made of scars and filled with my own wounds
This'll hurt you worse than me I'm weak, seven days, I'm weak Don't run from me I won't bother counting one, two, three
I don't know which me that I love Got no reflection I don't know which me that I love Got no reflection
You, you don't even want to know what I'm gonna do to you You don't even want to know what I'm gonna do to you You don't even want to know what I'm gonna do to you You don't even want to know what I'm gonna do to you
I don't know which me that I love Got no reflection I don't know which me that I love Got no reflection
No reflection, no reflection I got no reflection
