Rothenberg Lyrics

[Verse 1]
He's just a simple man
Unlike anybody else
He loves the smell of burning flesh
He loves the scent of hell
You can see the flames above the palms, they light up the sky
They anger the horizon

[Chorus]
He's living off machines
And he's slowing his breathing still
Sewn in gauze
He won't, he won't know what it's like to feel lost
Leave your flesh behind, my son, my son
You'll simply have to burn

[Verse 2]
Oh, but drowning's far too sweet
Feel the hate in heat
But gasoline is cheap
We'll do it while you sleep, while you sleep

[Chorus]
He's living off machines
And he's slowing his breathing still Sewn in gauze
He won't, he won't know what it's like to feel lost
Leave your flesh behind, my son, my son

[Bridge]
Your marbled skin parades his sin
And if you survive, you'll feel so alive
You'll feel so alive
His marbled skin parades his sin
And if you survive, you'll feel so alive

[Chorus]
And he's slowing his breathing still
Sewn in gauze
He won't, he won't know what it's like to feel lost
Leave your flesh behind, my son, my son
He's living off machines
And he's slowing his breathing still
Sewn in gauze, my son, my son
My son, my son
You'll simply have to burn
