Rest in Ink

Lyrics

[Intro: Skullkruncher13] This is a song for the sheep [Refrain: Skullkruncher13] Who's afraid of the big, bad wolf? Well, you shouldn't be 'cause evil's something I couldn't be My head's full of teeth, but they're made for smilin' Despite the bodies pilin' up Ignore 'em, and look for a door Only an exit, open nothin' more I'd rather not get ripped apart, can I trust you with my heart? [Interlude: Skullkruncher13] Ah! Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha! Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha! [Verse 1: Skullkruncher13] Go on and draw your boundaries But I'm bound to cross some lines In a world devoid of color There is one I call divine [Chorus: Skullkruncher13] Black is the color of laughter, black is the color of joy Black is the blood on my casket, it's the palette of the void Black is happy-ever-after, as tragedy is to befall I blacken my soul with disaster, leave it plastered on the walls [Verse 2: Skullkruncher13] Where would a wolf wander without his pack As sanity sinks and then slips through the cracks? Any lingering light will leak into the black So welcome aboard the train without track Lay back on the surgery table My hands are unsteady, but surely I'm able Of cracking your cage and setting your rage free I'll replace you if you betray me! Ink hath runneth over, and the tide will only rise But beware the undertow, your final throes are growing nigh Want a bone? Here's one, I'll throw ya You woke up in someone's mind just like I did, so don't fight it There is nowhere left to hide [Pre-Chorus: Andrea Storm Kaden] Death is no such dreadful thing when you can rest in ink This is your lullaby, he'll set you down to lie Then hang you out to dry, and make you proud to die [Chorus: Skullkruncher13] Black is the color of laughter, black is the color of joy Black is the blood on my casket, it's the palette of the void Black is happy-ever-after, as tragedy is to befall I blacken my soul with disaster, leave it plastered on the walls [Verse 3: Skullkruncher13] What's an identity but a lie? 'Cause the man that I once was wasn't I See, a monster is all in perspective, pretend that this song is your posthumous lullaby Now your pain is in paint and I'll watch it dry Then a permanent stain you'll become with time You're the sideshow, don't be mistaken 'Cause I'm the one takin' home all of the bacon He's always closing in, the halls are growing dim The walls are closing in, and nothing else is holding him Play your favorite tune aloud to make you braver through your doubt You've made your way to proving grounds, stay and face the music now [Pre-Chorus: Andrea Storm Kaden & Skullkruncher13] Death is no such dreadful thing when you can rest in ink This is your lullaby, he'll set you down to lie Then hang you out to dry, and make you proud to die Ah! Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha! Ha, ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha Ah, ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha! [Chorus: Skullkruncher13 & Andrea Storm Kaden] Black is the color of laughter, black is the color of joy Black is the blood on my casket, it's the palette of the void Black is happy-ever-after, as tragedy is to befall I blacken my soul with disaster and leave it plastered on the walls Death is no such dreadful thing when you can rest in ink This is your lullaby, he'll set you down to lie Then hang you out to dry, and make you proud to die [Outro: Skullkruncher13] Black is the color of the laughter Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha, ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha! Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
