Lyrics

[Instrumental Intro] [Intro] Yeah [Verse 1] What happens in the dark feels the way the blackout never does Turning the gears, sharpen the blades of sheer terror, these fevered ones But tell me the secret things, show me the bloody kings Let's play a game where the winners always lose their heads [Pre-Chorus] Time screams by, life is mine Time screams by, life is… Yeah [Chorus] Your condition is a symptom We'll have to give you medicine for the dead Drink me Your condition is a symptom We'll have to give you medicine for the dead Drink me [Verse 2] Before it could begin, the shooting stopped, the silence always comes Now where do we go? Because you're walking the streets, it's no better (There's something wrong) Pull at your privacy, a product of lunacy Don't be surprised when the losers want to win... but then again [Pre-Chorus] Time screams by, life is mine Time screams by, life is… Yeah [Chorus] Your condition is a symptom We'll have to give you medicine for the dead Drink me Your condition is a symptom We'll have to give you medicine for the dead Yeah [Instrumental Break] [Bridge] Where does it end and tell me where does it go? If evil exists, then only evil can know When do we run and are they letting us in? Where does it end and tell me where to begin [Chorus] Your condition is a symptom We'll have to give you medicine for the dead Drink me Your condition is a symptom We'll have to give you medicine for the dead (Medicine for the dead) Your condition is a symptom We'll have to give you medicine for the dead Drink me Your condition is a symptom We'll have to give you medicine for the dead You have to drink me [Outro] (You know you're Dying slowly, dying slowly Dying, dying, right? Know that you're dying slowly Dying slowly Dying, dying right now)
