  • Careful, the heathen wants to play
    Do you wanna be saved?
    Someone doesn't feel himself today
    What a way to behave

    When does your karma start to disarm your explosive demeanor?
    It's not a reason to seethe
    I see you showing your teeth
    These are the valleys of greed

    I can't believe my eyes
    There's a fire across my skies
    There's only so much left
    But what does it matter
    Everything is shut off

    Careful, the medicine's designed to stain
    So we can see your veins
    Rose Americana pennies will rain
    In the face of the sane

    Better depression builds hungry legends
    I always imagined the end was here in our sights
    I never said it was right
    This is the battle we fight

    Oh, I can't believe my eyes
    There's a fire across my skies
    There's only so much left
    But what does it matter
    Everything is shut off

    Oh, I can't believe my eyes
    There's a fire across my skies
    There's only so much left
    But what does it matter
    Everything is shut off
    Everything is shut off Writer/s: COREY TAYLOR, JAMES ROOT, JOSH RAND, ROY MAYORGA
