killer teddy bears
(Verse 1)
A wasted and destroyed landscape
Twisting under acid skies
Shadows crawl and colors scrape
Where the empty laughter lies
Screening dancing killer teddy bears
Won’t let me in, won’t let me breathe
Their stitched-up faces leer and stare
And I can’t find the door to leave
(Chorus – trippy, hypnotic)
And now I know it’s never gonna begin
The walls are bleeding, spinning, wearing thin
The monkey cuts his tongue with a razor blade
As the writing on the wall starts to fade… no, starts to bleed
(Verse 2)
Clock hands drip like melting wax
The floor folds under every step
Eyes appear in the ceiling cracks
Every corner holding death
Candles scream with violet tongues
Paper moons shatter in my head
Silver ants march with broken drums
Leading me to the things I dread
(Chorus)
And now I know it’s never gonna begin
The walls are bleeding, spinning, wearing thin
The monkey cuts his tongue with a razor blade
As the writing on the wall starts to bleed
(Bridge – jagged, chaotic, almost spoken)
I reach for a window that isn’t there
The teddy bears grin and tear
Colors twist like broken dreams
Nothing is quite what it seems
(Verse 3)
My hands are floating, not my own
The air is heavy, the ground has grown
Rivers of crimson, violet skies
Mirror cracks reflecting lies
And I can’t escape, I can’t rewind
This labyrinth is in my mind
Every step just pulls me through
To a trip I never wanted to
(Chorus – final, screaming)
And now I know it’s never gonna begin
The walls are bleeding, spinning, wearing thin
The monkey cuts his tongue with a razor blade
As the writing on the wall starts to bleed
(Outro – whispered, fading)
Destroyed landscape, twisted view
The trip is over… but it’s still in you
