Hey sugarbums°, it's time for introductions
it's time to shake our hands and pour a drink
we really need to talk, we've got all night for us
good catch, you're coming home with me
There's spiders, war, dentists and burglars
there's dogs, clowns and shaky flights too.
But since you've all been shat on this world to crawl around
I'm the one you learned to fear the most
They painted me dressed in black clothes
Cheekbones showing
Like your insides
Pointing skinny fingers to some scratched off family grave
I'm sorry if I'm cynical and brutal
ten thousand years of this don't help at all
like every goddamn job, it gains interest no more,
and it becomes a fucking hell routine
So let's do this as fast and short as we can
No explanations needed from now on
Don't make it a big deal, this shit is super real
You thought you were so special but you're not
So now, you might understand
I am the nightmare
I am the end
don't you wanna get a drink with me?

I thought about it once when we were playing a show at some friend's bar: you go out and you meet death, who simply tells you to follow him/her. It really scared the shit out of me, that's why I normally don't go to bars on my own.
