  • Let me see (let me see)
    All my
    Life has been (taken)
    Taken
    This demon (haunts me)
    Haunts me
    They're waiting (help me)
    Help me

    You fuck me up, I'm gagged and bound
    You pick me up when I am down
    I cannot live without them
    I do not live without them

    Hey, daddy (daddy)
    They are
    Taking me away
    Putting
    Things in me (my soul)
    My soul
    They're eating (help me)
    Please help me

    You fuck me up, I'm gagged and bound
    You pick me up when I am down
    I cannot live without them
    I do not live without them

    They tell me this thing inside of me
    Wants to get out
    All it does is scream and shout
    I'm trying not to let them out
    They tell me to hurt myself
    They tell me to hurt myself
    They tell me to hurt myself
    But I am not gonna listen

    You fuck me up, I'm gagged and bound
    You pick me up when I am down
    I cannot live without them
    I do not live without them

    You fuck me up, I'm gagged and bound (hey, daddy)
    You pick me up when I am down (they are)
    I cannot live without them (taking me)
    I do not live without them (this demon)

    (Daddy) hey, daddy
    Hey, daddy (awaiting)
    Hey, daddy (waiting)

  • Zero from Nowhere, NjDuring the verses: I'm pretty sure that's Munky using his envelope filter effect on his guitar to get that "drowning man" sound, while Head is subtly using the pitch shifting effect in his digitech whammy pedal, with Fieldy using traditional note-plucking as opposed to his normal slap-bass playing.
