  • Six bars laid across the sky
    Four empty walls to fill the time
    One careless word, you lose your life
    A grave new world awaits inside

    Lycanthropic survival instincts
    Embrace the beast and shun the weak
    Awake the primal one that sleeps inside
    Or feel the shiver running through your spine

    The time is slipping by, no peace in sight
    But the teeth of time still hold their bite
    My hands are painted red
    My future's painted black
    I can't recognize myself
    I've become someone else
    My hands are painted red, my hands are painted red

    Schizophrenic amnesia
    Bid goodbye to all you knew and loved
    Forget the only life that you knew outside
    They bought the ticket, now you take the ride
    The time is slipping by, no peace in sight
    But the teeth of time still hold their bite
    My hands are painted red
    My future's painted black
    I can't recognize myself
    I've become someone else
    My hands are painted red, my hands are painted red

    Another number quickly learns the rules
    A hidden burner waits to point at you
    A subtle gesture and you're ventilated
    Talk isn't cheap here, bleed out in payment

    Six bars laid across the sky
    Four empty walls to fill the time
    My hands are painted red
    My future's painted black
    I can't recognize myself
    I've become someone else
    My hands are painted red, my hands are painted red, red, red
    My future's painted black
    I can't recognize myself
    I've become someone else
    My hands are painted red, my hands are painted red Writer/s: CHRIS ADLER, DAVID RANDALL BLYTHE, JOHN CAMPBELL, MARK MORTON, WILL ADLER
