Lyrics

[Verse 1] I'll be there waiting With the hook in your neck as the contact you've made Deficient [Chorus] And your hand will break If you touch this fence Please them 'til they're blind with cleft lens [Instrumental Break] [Interlude] What have you brought for my appetite? What have you brought for my appetite? Oh [Verse 2] I'll never perish With the albino horns of a thousand young born Will you drink from the depths of my sea? [Chorus] And your hand will break If you touch this fence Please them 'til they're blind with cleft lens [Instrumental Break] [Interlude] What have you brought for my appetite? What have you brought for my appetite? Oh [Bridge 1] I might not make it back again The vervain is on the rise Maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe Got to open wide, got to open wide [Pre-Refrain] The might of a serpent swallowing tail Cycle recycled and I'm next to nothin' I said [Refrain] "Help me come alive" "Help me come alive" "Help me come alive" "Help me come alive" [Bridge 2] Place your ring finger on this debt Am I livin' or am I dead? Do what thou wilt, tell them what I've found The steps of a ladder from a diamondback's mouth I said [Refrain] "Help me come alive" "Help me come alive" "Help me come alive" "Help me come alive" "Help me come alive" "Help me come alive" [Outro] I ain't gonna hold my breath I ain't gonna hold my breath
