Doom & Roll Won't Save Your Soul
Rat King's Ghost
God doesn't like me enough to let me die, So I'll drive my blood pressure sky fucking high, Palpitations will increase, My anxiety is my masterpiece, Broken down and chilled to the bone, Hopeless, worthless, all alone, Gonna pop tramadol and stay awake, Won't give up until I hallucinate. Beg and plead on broken knees, You can bleed, but doom and roll won't save your soul. Ripping out your broken teeth, You can scream, but doom and roll won't save your soul. Self care means nothing, Had a heart attack and I'm still smoking, In through the lungs and out through the nose, Cardiac arrest part two, here we go. My chest hurts and I can't breathe, Light another up, 'cause I need my nicotine, Self-destruction's all I know, Finger's on the trigger and I'm ready to blow.

Red Room
Rat King's Ghost
Just got home from a shitty day at work, Open up TOR and I start to lurk, Pretty little thing, long blonde hair, Real fucking shame she's strapped to the chair, You should see the look in her eyes, When they bring out all the knives, She's screaming that she'll get out alive, But I paid to watch her die. Money goes in, blood comes out, Broadcasting live from the red room, Money goes in, blood comes out, They won't survive the red room. Next up, mister John Doe, Just a man with nowhere to go, Nails in his hands, nails in his feet, He'll be a corpse when he leaves that seat, Just a body that nobody mourns, When we're done, blow his lungs out his uniform, No remorse when I hear their cries, Watching death makes me feel alive.

Drop Dead, Squid Face!
Rat King's Ghost
Drop dead squid face. Rising when the stars say it's time, Shrinking back at the sight of the sign, Waking when the dreams start to change, Death dies when the aeons are strange. Drop dead squid face.

The Gitrog
Rat King's Ghost
Going down to Innistrad, Gonna see the big frog, Going down to Innistrad, Gonna meet the Gitrog. Rising from the Zhava's depths, The gitrog, The Gitrog, So wretched, Sigarda wept, The gitrog, the Gitrog. Goin' down to Innistrad, Gonna see the big frog, Goin' down to Innistrad, Gonna meet the Gitrog. Rising from the Zhava's depths, The gitrog, The gitrog, So wretched, Sigarda wept, The gitrog, the gitrog, It hungers, mouth open wide, The gitrog, the gitrog, Waiting for the sacrifice, The gitrog, The gitrog. You've got nowhere left to run, The gitrog, the gitrog, Wrapped up in its monstrous tongue, The gitrog, the gitrog, Terror dripping down your face, The gitrog, the gitrog, You'll be gone without a trace, The gitrog, the gitrog.

Reanimation Technician
Rat King's Ghost
Wake me up, when I'm dead, Pull the secrets from my head, I'll tell you what you want to know, What's beyond the black rainbow, I just can't seem to stay alive, And you just won't let me die, Try to drift asleep now and then, But when I shut my eyes, the water comes again. Reanimation technician, just let me know, Will I leave an ugly skull when I go? Reanimation technician, please stop the show, I'm so tired, and I wanna hold what the darkness can sew. Just when I think it's over now, I feel your hands pulling me out, Everything fades to black, But you always bring me back, No strength left, so back to life I come, Welcoming the sight of the loaded gun, Died a thousand times, I'll die a thousand more, I'll die until you get what you're looking for. Reanimation technician, just let me know, Will I leave an ugly skull when I go? Reanimation technician, please stop the show, I'm so tired, and I wanna hold what the darkness can sew.
