99 by The Haunted Lyrics

Genre: rock | Year: 2004

[Verse 1]
A last-minute decision
Lay it all on the line
Glass-pipe recollections of Antichrist
The nominees all on fire
Cash money up front
We're all part of the scam
Dead stars at the end of the rope
A fake miracle to behold

[Pre-Chorus]
Life is bright
It'll take out your eyes
Burn these lies
Cut away the ties

[Chorus]
Ninety-nine—99 knives
Ninety-nine—99
Ninety-nine knives inside
[Verse 2]
Separate the symptoms
From the real disease
A pale, ghostlike rendition of consequence
The irony covers the crime
Reenact trauma
A safe pattern to fuse
Preteens giving head in the back room
A family built on abuse

[Pre-Chorus]
Life is bright
It'll take out your eyes
Burn these lies
Cut away the ties

[Chorus]
Ninety-nine—99 knives
Ninety-nine—99
Ninety-nine knives inside

[Pre-Chorus]
Life is bright
It'll take out your eyes
Burn these lies
Cut away the ties
No one gets out alive

[Chorus]
Ninety-nine, ninety-nine (ninety-nine)
Ninety-nine knives inside (ninety-nine)
Ninety-nine, ninety-nine

[Outro]
Ninety-nine hopeless fucking useless empty ways to die
