Winning Bid

Industrial Post HardcoreRuntime 03:49
[Verse 1]

Train hums soft through foreign rain

Three bright lives in a tourist chain

Warm bath, cheap room, can’t resist

Comfort with a killing twist

Names go up, the bidders pick

Vacation turning counterfeit

All the people sell you bliss

Smiling faces, Judas kiss

[Chorus]

Raise the price on my head

Sell the room, make the bed

If I am meat in your machine

I’ll learn the language underneath

Raise the glass, lower the blade

Every debt has to be paid

You want blood? You want proof?

I’ll buy my life by bleeding you

[Verse 2]

Bloodhound branded under skin

A country club where knives sink in

A coward’s hands, pathetic rage

A little man inside a cage

Bidder one, bidder two

The room decides what fear can do

Fine print bites, and mercy quits

The contract says you must commit

[Chorus]

Raise the price on my head

Sell the room, make the bed

If I am meat in your machine

I’ll learn the language underneath

Raise the glass, lower the blade

Every debt has to be paid

You want blood? You want proof?

I’ll buy my life by bleeding you

[Bridge]

Bring me the paper

Bring me the pen

Bring me the man who paid to begin

Tie him down in the chair he chose

Let the fine print kill him slow

[Breakdown]

Ink won’t hold

Paper won’t stay

Cut him open

Let the debt drain

PAY TO LEAVE

SIGN IN RED

CUT THE CONTRACT

LET HIM BLEED DEAD

[Final chorus]

Raise the price on my head

Sell the room, make the bed

If I am meat in your machine

I’ll learn the language underneath

Raise the glass, lower the blade

Every debt has to be paid

You want blood? You want proof?

I’ll buy my life by bleeding you
