Hell of It Lyrics

[Intro]
Welcome back, you couldn't resist
Planting seeds of denial till you reap the harvest
Take it all, I barely exist
Rip the flesh off my bones, make a feast of my carcass
Ah

[Verse 1]
It's a habitual ritual of the darkness
Waking up with my eyes sewn shut
All my nerves are frozen solid
I can never get out until you take your cut

[Pre-Chorus]
Take it all, I barely exist
Take it all, I barely exist

[Chorus]
Why am I a dreamer? I can't take this
You dig a little deeper just for the hell of it
Why am I a dreamеr? I can't take this
You dig a little deeper just for thе hell of it

[Verse 2]
I can't discern the shapes I'm seeing
So out of phase with the state I'm in
At least my heart is finally pounding
I love the taste of my own medicine

[Pre-Chorus]
Take it all, I barely exist
Take it all, I barely exist

[Chorus]
Why am I a dreamer? I can't take this
You dig a little deeper just for the hell of it
Why am I a dreamer? I can't take this
You dig a little deeper just for the hell of it

[Bridge]
Take it all, I barely exist
Take it all, I barely exist
Take it all, I barely exist
Rip the flesh off my bones, make a feast of my carcass

[Breakdown]
Oh

[Chorus]
Why am I a dreamer? I can't take this
You dig a little deeper just for the hell of it
Why am I a dreamer? I can't take this
You dig a little deeper just for the hell of it

[Outro]
Just for the hell of it

What did Beartooth say about "Hell of It"?

This was another very live-centered one. I wrote that on that Motionless in White tour as well—at least all the music. I was probably listening to Motörhead and wanted something with that kind of groove. I just wanted the guitars to kind of growl, so I wrote really simple riffs in the breakdowns and stuff. It’s got a super-basic drumbeat behind it and it’s just a good time, plain and simple.
