ROTTEN

I'm not here to tell the truth

I'm here to tell lies

Here to scream at you silent

And at all you despise

A portrait of an artist

Or a sketch of a loser

The irony ain't lost on me

To love is to bruise her

I've burned every bridge that I've ever built

I've drank till I'm dead with people I've killed

Got caught up in the riptide of sins of the flesh

Got torn asunder while looking for rest

Coke in a bathroom where I shoulda cried

Cut up on a slab where no love resides

Cracked to my core, pain I felt nothing

Took a look inside and found that I'm rotten

It's rotten at the bottom

It's rotten at the top

To marry a rake or to just give up It's rotten at the bottom

It's rotten at the top

To marry a rake or to just give up

A shadowy figure approached from afar

Killed 'em with kindness and jar after jar

Spectre of rot, spit in his face

Cancel the violence, cause my jaws out of place

The craft it is lying to crowds or to me

I prance on a stage to a laudy degree

Attention is lacking I'll starve myself silent

My body's a cage and my head is a riot

So I crusade against the rising tide

Fought windmills by the thousands, took it all in my stride

Relentless regret, seek and destroy

A painless remedy, tear in my eye

See these, they're ancient, burn it, I'll show

Your nose is out of place from a box or some blow

Guillotine rising, drop it I'll cum

Your days are numbered, and my race is run

It's rotten at the bottom

It's rotten at the top

To marry a rake or to just give up

It's rotten at the bottom

It's rotten at the top

To marry a rake or to just give up

It's rotten at the bottom

It's rotten at the top

To marry a rake or to just give up

It's rotten at the bottom

It's rotten at the top

To marry a rake

You know the craic and you know it well

Society decline? Let it rot in hell

Your mates are all scum they're the same as me

Crack another rib and do another knee

This is all a front, I'm actually soft

Cripple this frame gave you all that I got

Joyce out of time, so give me a line

To love is to lose, but to try is a crime

Fuck all of you that are here tonight

Bed Pasiphae gave my mother a fright

And now that I'm tied up upon this rock

Affection to rent, forever losing socks

Boys from Blackrock who think that they're hard

Here's a wake up call from the back of my hand

Don't like what I see when I look in my eyes

Grabbing old money just to hear their cries yeah

It's rotten at the bottom

It's rotten at the top

To marry a rake or to just give up

It's rotten at the bottom

It's rotten at the top

To marry a rake or to just give up

It's rotten at the bottom

It's rotten at the top

To marry a rake or to just give up

It's rotten at the bottom

It's rotten at the top

To marry a rake
