Lyrics

I'm rotting inside
My flesh turns to dust			(Verse 1)
Whisper "Are you dying?" in my ear

I'm so sick to death
Tumors in my head			(Verse 2)
Whisper "Are you dying?" in my ear

Black rose of death
In my fist I clutch			(Chorus)
Thorns shred my fingertips
And drips toxic blood

Kiss me one last time
Cloth off my sweat			(Verse 3)
Whisper "Are you dying?" in my ear

Cast my bones in rust
Weave bounds of trust			(Verse 4)
Whisper "Are you dying?" in my ear

(Chorus)
(Verse 1)
(Verse 3)

Whisper "Are you dying?" in my ear	(Outro)
