Schoolyard Heroes Panic In The Year Zero
(Kiss me) Kiss me with your bayonet
(Curse me) Carve your name with blunt precision
(Kiss me) Greet me with this violence
(Curse me) Taste my pores like an insect feeding
(Kiss me) Scream, scream cried the debutante
(Curse me) Dance, dance, said the evil paraquat
Sing, sing you’re telling me
Bleed, bleed said the paper to the pen
Understand there’s no time
Understand I could not care less
Reattach these severed limbs
Fasten velcro to loose appendages
Burn these lips with your fingertips
Crush this heart with your megaton footsteps
Die Young
Leave a pretty corpse for me.
I wouldn’t hold my breath If I were you.
Shrapnel swirls like butterflies
And leaves your broken body in my arms.
Kiss me with brass-knuckled fists
Hate me because I left you bleeding
Love me with your violence
Grab my throat like a mad man seething
See you in the opera house
Wage this war with unparalleled carnage
Meet me the parking lot
Mangled parts can’t be salvaged
Save your breath
Don’t say your prayers
Words won’t help where you’re going
Save your breath
Don’t say your prayers
This curse shall keep you wandering
Burn these lips with your fingertips
Crush this heart with your megaton footsteps
Save your breath
Don’t say your prayers
Words won’t help where you’re going
Die Young
Leave a pretty corpse for me.
I wouldn’t hold my breath If I were you.
Shrapnel swirls like butterflies
And leaves your broken body in my arms
Save your breath
Save your breath
Words won’t help where you’re going
