  • Dead hands clutch my arm, the smell of death fills the air
    Her fragrance, a carcass reanimates
    Oh, if you need me, I'll be tying a rope to the tree
    Where our, where our love used to be
    I took down every photo of us and buried them at sea
    I took down every photo and I buried them at sea

    Don't worry, pretty, beauty is only skin deep
    (Psyche)

    Your beauty is no more
    So why don't you just fuck yourself, you fucking whore?
    Oh, your beauty is no, no more
    So why don't you just fuck yourself, you stupid fucking whore?

    I should have known
    Not to look into her eyes
    I'm cast to stone (I'm cast to stone)
    Her glare was my demise
    Medusa
    Medusa, oh

    Your beauty is no, no more
    So why don't you just fuck yourself, you fucking whore?

    Dead hands clutch my arm, the smell of death, it fills the air
    Her fragrance, a carcass reanimates
    (Since you left me) I've never
    (Since you left me) been the same
    (Since you left me) I've never
    (Since you left me) been the fucking same

    Oh

    Oh

    Hour by hour, day by day
    Your memory will fade away
    Every sunrise, every sunset
    Will help me to forget your name
    Your smile, your eyes, Medusa

    Decapitate her and bring her head to Athena
    Unlike her sisters, she ain't no deathless God, oh

    This is for every time you stabbed me in the back
    Every notch in your bedpost
    This is for every time you stabbed me in the back
    For every notch in your bedpost, baby Writer/s: Curtis Paul Lee Ward, Lee David Malia, Matthew Kean, Matthew Stephen Nicholls, Oliver Scott Sykes
