Lyrics

    I found the center of fruit is late
    it is the center of truth today
    cut the apple in two
    oh, I pray it isn't true
    I've got something you can never eat
    I drained my heart and burn my soul
    I trained the core to stop my growth
    I pray to die in space
    to cover me in snow
    I'm dying, I hope you're dying too
    cover me in snow
    I'm dying, I hope you're dying too
    Take this from me (hate me, hate me)
    1, 2, 3, he is a speed bump mannequin
    1, 2, 3, he can't move just stand still
    I've got something you can never eat
