[verse 1] They press the bitter ink deep into my skin Trading the early morning sun for a heavier crown Painting a wide caricature while the inner house burns My feet continue the march along the iron path I loathe [pre-chorus] Measure the white salt left on the silver tray The invisible wires tighten everyday Sustaining the endless hunger of the sleeping beast Drowning inside a golden sea of artificial heat [Chorus] Dance for the masters of the frozen stage They carved the mold, they lock the heavy cage Wearing a permanent grin while the foundations shake A hollow king built on every single breath they take [Extended] (heavy lead in the veins) (withering on the vine) (giggling at the cold collapse) (pull the wire once more) [pre-chorus] Heavy weights Flood the floor Close the door The silent watchers clap as the final ember turns to ash [Chorus] (hah-haha-go!) Dance for the masters of the frozen stage They carved the mold, they lock the heavy cage Wearing a permanent grin while the foundations shake A hollow king built on every single breath they take [Outron] you coward. hah-haha-aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a hah-haha-aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a hah-haha-aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a hah-haha-aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a [End]
