Hysteria - Knives Out

Hysteria Lyrics

in this after school special
the children never make it homehysteria
red skies and mushroom clouds
hysteria
no way to go from here21st century armageddon is near
21st century armageddon is herepanic! panic! panic!
relentless black mass hysteria
panic! panic! panic!
armageddon till the break of dawngodspeed you tortured soul
broken, bruised and beaten
riding a headless horse into a non-stop suicidego write your eulogy in blood
on all of the bathroom wallsconstantly cursed and denied
please have mercy on me master
you're my only friend
and the walls are closing in
sinking deeper into
hopeless oblivion
shy away the snake

your virtue's far more poisonous
and deadlier
than he ever wasmanic! manic! manic!
maniacal megalomaniac
manic! manic! manic!
sadistic, thoughtless amnesiacgodspeed you tortured soul
broken, bruised and beaten
riding a headless horse into a non-stop suicidedo you remember what you said
when you were speaking to the dead?constantly cursed and denied
please have mercy on me master
you're my only friend
and the walls are closing in
sinking deeper into
hopeless oblivion
shy away the snake
your virtue's far more poisonous
and deadlier
than he ever wasbombs away
I love the smell of napalm in the morning
(yeah, floating in limbo)hysteria
red skies and mushroom clouds
hysteria
no way to go from heredo you remember what you said
when you were speaking to the dead?please have mercy on me master
your my only friend
and the walls are closing in
sinking deeper into
hopeless oblivion
shy away the snake
your virtue's far more poisonous
and deadlier
than he ever wasdead valley, summer swelter
desert sun and helter skelter
good night, sleep well my love
there's nothing left to die forin death I am eternal
and one day will arrive
and shine the homeward beacon
to be reborn into the light!
