Lyrics

   I could give you a dozen


fresh, 
cut, 
pink, or red, or white 
I wonder if they knew what they 
would grow to become

I could give you a dozen 
fresh,
cut,
pink, or red, or white 
I wonder if they knew what they
 would grow to become

become become
 become become 
be be be become

you’ll have to cut it down 
and burn me into splinters 
or I’ll unwrap the string
 that was me,
 around your finger. 
And I’ll hang you in
 your bedroom burial ground

there is a taste for blood
 and it’s something deep inside 
there is a taste for blood
 and it’s deep inside

become become
 become become 
be be be become

I don’t ever want god
 to hear our screams
 and mistake them for prayers.
 And you know I’m loaded
 but not which chamber 
touch me and i’ll go 
Click click click click click 
Click click click click click 
Click click click click click

there is a taste for blood
 and it’s something deep inside
 there is a taste for blood 
and it’s deep inside

become become
 become become 
be be be become

And you know I’m loaded 
But not which chamber
 Touch me and i’ll go 
Click click click click click 
Click click click click click
 Click click click click click

I’m born villain
 don’t pretend to be a victim 
I’m born villain 
don’t pretend to be a victim 
I’m born villain
 don’t pretend to be a victim 
I’m born villain
 don’t pretend to be a victim
