With Empty Promises & Loaded Guns

Venom propagates, sprouting Abraham's knives

In this place of worship, this harem of glowering eyes

It's saccharine, this sacrament of lies

Crimes of dispassion draw in the flies

Silver spoons ship pineboxes

Fox in the henhouse, spill in the reef

Scratch them deep and see who bleeds

This is nine millimeters

To the chest of everyone that you love

And everyone that you know

Hellfire rains, irrigates such vulgar contempt

Cracked molars germinate, new weeds obscure the fence

Belligerent angels weep lustful tears

As the rats recede, scratch them deep and see who bleeds

This is nine millimeters

To the chest of everyone that you love

And everyone that they love

And everyone that you know

And everyone that they know

And everyone that they know

Trepidation, the cracked veneer

The true summation of all you fear

When the bell does toll

Let it reverberate

Soft and sweet

(This is)

(Nine millimeters)

This is nine millimeters

To the chest of everyone that you love

(This is nine millimeters)

And everyone that you know (To the chest of everyone that you love)

Fashion begets fashion
