RØTTEN - Machine Head

My mouth is cracked and dry

The words are choking by

My teeth are gritting at the rage I’m feeling

My stomach tied in knots

Jaw clenched and muscles taut

About to explode inside the anger building

I’ve sat with gun in hand

Barrel to temple, can’t understand

Bleeding an open sore

These wounds I can’t ignore

I am the misbegotten

Lest this horror be forgotten

Everything is rotten to the core

Everything is rotten to the core

Everything is rotten to the

Black blood red pill

Razor and scar

Love cut hate kill

This is a war

I stare into the black

Anxiety attack

My heart is racing as my throat’s constricting

With every cut and scrape

My skin it palpitates

Lying awake I feel the terror grip me

This nightmare never ends

Suffer my demons

Weather the bends

Drowning in misery

And negativity

Walk shores of the downtrodden

Anthems to the misbegotten

Everything is rotten to the core

Everything is rotten to the core

Everything is rotten to the

Black blood red pill

Razor and scar

Love cut hate kill

This is a war

War

Powerless

Life endless

Infected

Dejected

The lying liars say their spineless vile hypocrisies

The burning pyres blaze their timeless animosity

Will you stand beside me

And fight to change the world

Everything is rotten to the core

Everything is rotten

Anthems to the misbegotten

Everything is rotten to the core

Everything is rotten to the core

Everything is rotten to the core

Everything is rotten to the core

Everything is rotten

(Powerless)

Everything is rotten to the core

(Life endless)

Everything is rotten to the core

(Dejected)

Everything is rotten to the core

(Dejected)

Everything is rotten to the core

(Life endless)

Everything is rotten to the core
