about

This version is very similar to version 1; the most notable differences are the bass guitar and guitar solo additions, and the absence of the turntable scratching. This version also includes samples taken from the film "Heathers".

lyrics

If you just give me half a chance
I could make you so unhappy
I could make you see yourself
Someone with unstable mental health
I'll put you in jeopardy
Of the knife held in your hand
One quick kiss of steel on skin
A game you can lose and win

Suicide pact dissatisfied
Spontaneous combustion ain't comin' baby
Suicide pact you never felt more alive
Then at the moment you draw your last breath

I'm holding on to nothingness
'Cause nothingness is all I get
Sleeping with my nightmares
And the taste of bitter sweat

What's gonna happen when we die
We don't know, don't wonder why
Will the cry standing at our tomb?
Stand back they can't breathe, give 'em room
Speaking in tongues, speaking in tongues
Mumbo gumbo jumbo sayonara baby
What's it all about, group think abound
Are you scared? Don't be scared

Suicide pact dissatisfied
Spontaneous combustion ain't comin' baby
Suicide pact you never felt more alive
Then at the moment you draw your last breath

Fill a box with memories
Fill a box with pain
We'll find a new source of energy
Boy those memories burn
Our lives are like a toilet roll
Cylinders with no center
A vacuous sinner saved
Is a vacuous sinner earned, yeah

Suicide pact dissatisfied
Spontaneous combustion ain't comin' baby
Suicide pact you never felt more alive
Then at the moment you draw your last breath

Suicide pact dissatisfied
Spontaneous combustion ain't comin' baby
Suicide pact you never felt more alive
Then at the moment you draw your last breath

I'm holding on to nothingness
'Cause nothingness is all I get
Sleeping with my nightmares
And the taste of bitter sweat

Suck it in!
Suck it in!
Suck it in!
