Lyrics
Realizing what I've done before.

I go underneath the narrow carpet.

Don't you worry about a thing.

Baby girl, I won't get harped on again.

With the angels being too indiscreet.

My self-conscious sinks into the miraculous heat.

I'll keep going until my blood seeps.

The violins stare at me, like I'm some animal.

Baby girl, I won't enter the slaughterhouse.

An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.

I know well enough about this character's room.

The disgust they have for me.

Won't make a human bow on his knees!

I recognize that bedtime story anywhere.

As I crawl to the kingdom, it whispers my name.

This can't be the voice of a torturous game.

Am I hallucinating like God's stance?

An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.

I know well enough about this character's room.

The disgust they have for me.

Won't make a human bow on his knees!

An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.

You must be my sweet shadow from before.

You are the Heaven that must support my Hell.

I can feel these walls closing in.

May you open up that dark chest of yours?

The disgust they have for me.

The disgust they have.

An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.

I know well enough about this character's room.

The disgust they have for me.

Won't make a human bow on his knees!

Can you paint a portrait of my home?

I want out of this dream, created by the ones.

Who deserve all the blame, it seems.

An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.

I know well enough about this character's room.

The disgust they have for me.

Won't make a human bow on his knees!

Won't make a human bow on his knees!

Won't make a human bow on his knees!

An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.
