[Verse 1]
Standing with my enemy
Hung on my horns
With haste and reverie
Killing with charm
[Chorus]
Only happy when you hurt
Only deadly in a swarm
Only healthy in the dirt
Only empty in your arm
[Verse 2]
I play, I'm sick and tame
Drawing the hordes
I wait, and show the lame
The meaning of harm
The skull beneath my feet
Like feathers in sand
I graze among the graves
A feeling of peace
[Chorus]
Only bending when you break
Only feeding when you're cold
Only healing when you ache
Only feeling when you don't
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
Only bending when you break
Only feeding when you're cold
Only healing when you ache
Only feeling when you don't
Standing with my enemy
Hung on my horns
With haste and reverie
Killing with charm
[Chorus]
Only happy when you hurt
Only deadly in a swarm
Only healthy in the dirt
Only empty in your arm
[Verse 2]
I play, I'm sick and tame
Drawing the hordes
I wait, and show the lame
The meaning of harm
The skull beneath my feet
Like feathers in sand
I graze among the graves
A feeling of peace
[Chorus]
Only bending when you break
Only feeding when you're cold
Only healing when you ache
Only feeling when you don't
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
Only bending when you break
Only feeding when you're cold
Only healing when you ache
Only feeling when you don't
