White Knuckles Lyrics by Foetus

Hole

0

I've gotten to the point where I believe everything I say
I got a birthmark deathmask shaped like the USA
See me squirm with the sins of a nation
See me run 'round in circles of bitter frustration
My necktie's turned into a hangman's noose
I'd cry in pain if tearducts could cut me loose
My head's turned to rust, my skull's about to split
I can't get rid of this emotional shit!
Kill! Kill! Kill! (Kill, kill, kill!)
Kill!

I got hangnails on my hangnails
Visions of the black-hooded hangman's noose
Every time I close my fingers
Try to use my nailclippers to cut me loose
My cuticles are screaming for mercy
Fingernails are bitten to the quick and the dead
My head's turned to slush, my skull's about to split
I can't get rid of this emotional shit!
Kill! Kill! Kill! (Kill, kill, kill, kill! Kill, kill, kill, kill!)
Kill! Kill! Kill! (Kill, kill, kill, kill! Kill, kill, kill, kill!)
Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill!

Clenched fist (White knuckles)
Clammy palm, sticky fingers
Chipped-off polish, broken thumbs
Clenched fist (White knuckles)
Kill! Kill! Kill! (Kill, kill, kill!)
Kill! (Kill, kill, kill!)
Clenched fist (White knuckles)
Clammy palm, sticky fingers
Chipped-off polish, broken thumbs
Clenched fist (White knuckles)

My palm is red, my wrists are cut
My lifeline stops at the fifth of October
Clenched fist (White knuckles)
Kill! Kill! Kill! (Kill, kill, kill!)
The devil makes work for idle hands (Kill, kill, kill!)
Clenched fist (White knuckles)
The devil makes work for idle hands (Kill, kill, kill!)
Clenched fist (White knuckles)

Knuckle down, knuckle duster
Knuckle down, knuckle duster
Knuckle down, knuckle duster
Kill! Kill! Kill! (Kill, kill, kill!)
Knuckle down, knuckle duster
Knuckle down, knuckle duster
Knuckle down, knuckle duster
Go!

"We're gonna get you
Not another peep
Time to go to sleep..."
