    this is better than anything i could've hoped for.

    Eye on the TV
    Cuz tragedy thrills me
    Whatever flavour it happens to be
    I am killed by the husband
    Drugged by the ocean
    Shot by his own son he used to poison
    Through this tube, as kills trickle by
    This black little story is no fun
    Until someone dies

    Don’t look at me like I am a monster
    Frown out your one face
    But with the other
    Stare like a junkie into the TV
    Stare like a zombie
    While the mother holds her child
    Watches him die
    Hands to the sky crying ‘why oh why?’

    Cuz I need to watch things die
    From a distance
    Vicariously I live while the whole world dies
    You all need it, too
    Don’t lie

    Why can’t we just admit it?
    Why can’t we just admit it?
    We won't give pause until the blood is flowing
    Knee to the grave, noble
    Writers just tore his soul
    We won't give pause until the blood is flowing

    I need to watch things die from a good safe distance
    Vicariously I am
    While the whole world dies
    You all feel the same so why can’t we just admit it?

    Blood, like rain, come down
    Drum on, grave and drown
    Caught in the pothole
    You're carnivores and voyeurs
    Still, heaven sends me to sing to the death rattle

    La la la la la la lie
    La la la la la la lie
    La la la la la la lie
    La la la la la la lie

    *talking in the background*

    Credulous, the bestial desire to believe in
    Angels in the hearts of men
    Put your hand onto your head, please
    Believe and give a listen
    Shouldn't have to say it all again
    The universe is hostile
    So impersonal
    Devour to survive - so it is
    So it's always been

    We all feed on tragedy
    It's like blood to a vampire

    Vicariously I
    Live while the whole world dies
    Much better you than I
