21st Century Nightmare Lyrics by Nick Lutsko

Heart of Mold

2013

[Verse 1]
I woke up in the evening wearing someone else's clothes
My hair was in the sink and blood was runnin' out my nose
There was a hand upon my shoulder
Connected to an arm, stretched out far beyond my kitchen through the doorway to my lawn
He stood there underneath the moonlight, I never learned his name
I'd seen him in a dream before and nothing was the same
His eyes were hiding lifе like stained glass I noticed in his starе
His throat was lined with bullet holes but he didn't seem to care and so I asked how he was doin'
He told me he was dead I asked if I was too, or if this was all just in my head he said "it doesn't really matter, you should really get some sleep" He tucked me in my bed and then set fire to my sheets
[Chorus]
Oh-(Oh)
Oh-(Oh)
Oh-(Oh)
[Verse 2]
I woke up in a shower pullin' leeches off my skin
I’d scrub it down for hours then slapped em' on again
Til' my flesh it turned to jelly, my bones they broke like bread, my brains they felt like scrambled eggs inside my toasted head
I said "Get out of my house" and they pretended to be dead, the moon moved toward malice and the water turned red
I don't wanna be there when the sky turns to tile, naked and shakin' and covered in bile
Hide your sickness, hide your strain, oceans of needles under blankets of hay
Nobody's listening but everyone's watching, everyone's watching but no one cares!
[Chorus]
Oh-(Oh)
(Oh)
(Oh)
(Oh)
(Oh)
