A last-minute decision

Lay it all on the line

Glass-pipe recollections of Antichrist

The nominees all on fire



Cash money up front

We're all part of the scam

Dead stars at the end of the rope

A fake miracle to behold



Life is bright

It'll take out your eyes

Burn these lies

Cut away the ties



Ninety-nine—99 knives

Ninety-nine knives inside

Ninety-nine—99

Ninety-nine knives inside



Separate the symptoms

From the real disease

A pale, ghostlike rendition of consequence

The irony covers the crime



Reenact trauma

A safe pattern to fuse

Preteens giving head in the back room

A family built on abuse



Life is bright

It'll take out your eyes

Burn these lies

Cut away the ties



Ninety-nine—99 knives

Ninety-nine knives inside

Ninety-nine—99

Ninety-nine knives inside



Ninety-nine hopeless, fucking,

Useless, empty ways to die
