[English]

There's a great big bad black hole in your eyes

And it keeps swallowing me up

It ain't mysterious

It ain't mysterious

You are bacteria

Infection serious

Your blood is colder than an arctic polar bear

Just beating faster than 200 BPM

No one believin' you

Ego Anastasia

It's selective memory

Yeah, you got amnesia

You got the confidence to suck us all in

This pit is bottomless, the lies are times to miss

I'm pushing, you're pulling, your cancer is showing

Feel me drift away

There's a great big bad black hole in your heart

And it keeps swallowing me up

There's a great big bad black hole in your heart

And it keeps swallowing me up

Take me like a pill

Take me like a pill

No one ever will

Fill the black hole in your heart

There's a great big bad black hole in your heart

And it keeps swallowing me up

I know you're mad at me, nothing left of sanity

So fuck profanity, mad at age of vanity

So show me sacrifice, told you evangelize

Don't be discouraged, just channel lights

You are the anti-Christ

There's a great big bad black hole in your heart

And it keeps swallowing me up

There's a great big bad black hole in your heart

And it keeps swallowing me up

Take me like a pill

Take me like a pill

No one ever will

Fill the black hole in your heart

There's a great big bad black hole in your heart

And it keeps swallowing me up

Sadness is empty, the darkness is tempting

Freezing me in place

The pushing, the pulling, your cancer is showing

Just let me drift away

There's a great big bad black hole in your heart

And it keeps swallowing me up

There's a great big bad black hole in your heart

And it keeps swallowing me up

Take me like a pill

Take me like a pill

Take me like a pill

Take me like a pill

There's a great big bad black hole in your heart

And it keeps swallowing me up

Take me like a pill
