Lyrics

I think you tryin to tear

But I stick with her spit

Keep thinking comic lines

Of those less fortunate

I must exterminate

The lucky haunted few

With my lottery.

My fingers need it back

It curles around her neck

She chokes her dying breath

And blows it in my face

Her sticky ploppy sticks

To my more waiting flesh

And blood runs from her mouth

For my last kiss to taste

For my last kiss to taste

I know that it's wrong

But I'm waiting to see

How very long I can keep up the pace.

Grinding Process

Prevent you stratus, yeah

I snick it husband

Make me tall with lies

Loose lips torture me

Mus ditch romalaid

Lick me, continue

With my ladder ray

Finger painted black

Goes around her neck

Chokes with giant blood

Losing my face

Stick it lonely streatch

Strive one, wasted wretch

No runs rumor now

Who's my last gift to taste?

For my last kiss to taste

Now I know that it's mound, but

The way it will be

How very long

If I could trick it to be.

Grinding Process

sitting in your smile chair

I sniff here lips and spit

he keeps on calling lies

of those less fortunate

I must exterminate

the lucky hunch and guilt

I win my lottery

My fingers need a bath

he moves around and licks

she chokes her dying breath

and does it in my face

her sticky druggy sticks

to my more waiting flesh

it doesn't number mine

for my last kiss to taste

for my last kiss to taste

that I know it is wrong

but I'm waiting to see

how very long I can keep up the pace

GRINDING PROCESS

sitting in your smile chair

I sniff here lips and spit

he keeps on calling lies

of those less fortunate

I must exterminate

the lucky hunch and guilt

I win my lottery

My fingers need a bath

he moves around and licks

she chokes her dying breath

and does it in my face

her sticky druggy sticks

to my more waiting flesh

it doesn't number mine

for my last kiss to taste

for my last kiss to taste

that I know it is wrong

but I'm waiting to see

how very long I can keep up the pace

(Alternate Interpretation)

Grinding Process

One thing to shred and tear

Glass meat never stares

Feed me karmic lies

Of those less fortunate

Must exterminate

Left me haunting you

Win my lottery

Fingers needled black

A cross around her neck

She chokes her dying brain

And blows it in my face

Stick your lucky sticks

To my more waiting flesh

No one's rumors now

For my last kiss to taste

For my last kiss to taste

My cry is lonely and numb

But I'm waiting to see

How very long I can keep up the pace.
