lyrics

Verse 1:

You might say I’m addicted
I’d rather think that my “existence is contingent”
Compromise my innocence to fill
My cup to the brim and I’ll over flow it
Just to feel my

inhibitions lower as I feel the hunger grow
and that’s why

Chorus:

This is my obsession
Running through my hollow bones like
Eloquent aggression seizing my whole mind
Violent reaction
The cannibal must taste the blood to
Find the satisfaction and drink it down like wine

Verse 2:

Run and tell the other ghouls in the ghost yard
Somebody found my skeleton
Decompose when all the little devils
Turn around and take control

Now a shotgun pointed at my head
Makes me kind of sentimental
And I’ve always had a thing
For the taste of gun metal

If I hold my breath long enough
Maybe I can see the sun shine
Right through the body bag
Love it when the rush
Hit the vein, indulgence is a bitch
With a gold-plated brain
And a cold dead kiss

[Chorus]

Final chorus:

This is my obsession (this is my obsession)
Running through my hollow bones
Like eloquent aggression
Infects my mind and I might have a
Violent reaction
The cannibal must taste the blood to
Find the satisfaction
And drink it down like wine

I don't know what it is, but in DWTD's discography this record really stands out to me. Picking a favourite track is difficult because all of the songs sound incredible to me, but POISON is probably the most fresh and energetic song in my opinion. zWarhead

This EP is superb. I did not expect the closing track to sound the way it does. Such an atmospheric and emotional sound, it really turns the rest of the EP up to eleven. zWarhead
