lyrics
Can't you feel it?
Feel the world collapsing in
Feel the emptiness within
as you melt into her skin
Can't you smell it?
the smell of every living thing
it wraps around
and it pulls you down
before you know what's happening
Give in now
There is nothing left to do
Feel it controlling you
Give in now
Just drink the milk
and it'll all be over
soon
God and Satan took their vows
curtains open
and the actors take a bow
You were there to
cause you were me
and I was you
Do not insist (on) my endangering
How the hoaxer tames itself
(i've) Done It Countless Always
When (the) kindlies come
understanding finds that nothing
only demonstrates
(i've) Done It Countless Always
Give in now
There is nothing left to do
Feel it controlling you
Give in now
Just drink the milk
and it'll all be over
soon
God and Satan took their vows
curtains open
and the actors take a bow
You were there to
cause you were me
and I was you
But that's not the way it went
I remember it somewhat different
Like there's something here
just itching to be solved
But you've got to learn
before this thing's resolved
And to gain knowledge
you've gotta learn to lose it all
then let your ego fall
Can't you taste them?
Taste the edges of humanity
They know exactly what you need
So they'll cut you till you bleed
Can't you hear them?
Hear your loved ones calling you
You've gotta hold your breath to win
Or you've gotta do this all again
Give in now
There is nothing left to do
Feel it controlling you
Give in now
Just drink the milk
and it'll all start over
Feel the world collapsing in
Feel the emptiness within
as you melt into her skin
Can't you smell it?
the smell of every living thing
it wraps around
and it pulls you down
before you know what's happening
Give in now
There is nothing left to do
Feel it controlling you
Give in now
Just drink the milk
and it'll all be over
soon
God and Satan took their vows
curtains open
and the actors take a bow
You were there to
cause you were me
and I was you
Do not insist (on) my endangering
How the hoaxer tames itself
(i've) Done It Countless Always
When (the) kindlies come
understanding finds that nothing
only demonstrates
(i've) Done It Countless Always
Give in now
There is nothing left to do
Feel it controlling you
Give in now
Just drink the milk
and it'll all be over
soon
God and Satan took their vows
curtains open
and the actors take a bow
You were there to
cause you were me
and I was you
But that's not the way it went
I remember it somewhat different
Like there's something here
just itching to be solved
But you've got to learn
before this thing's resolved
And to gain knowledge
you've gotta learn to lose it all
then let your ego fall
Can't you taste them?
Taste the edges of humanity
They know exactly what you need

Can't you hear them?
Hear your loved ones calling you
You've gotta hold your breath to win
Or you've gotta do this all again
Give in now
There is nothing left to do
Feel it controlling you
Give in now
Just drink the milk
and it'll all start over
