Obscenery Lyrics

[Bridge]
Ain't it a little strange?
We're tired of bein' awake
Do you think we'll break?
Like a slap in the face
Enjoy the obscenery, goodnight

[Verse 2]
Self-help, go on, help yourself
You must be pleased with miseries you designed
Voyeurism-jism may cause blurry visions
Spoiled brat or an inner child
Emotional amputees
With phantom pains from missing limbos of life

Oh, the guillotine, I'm drownin' in a wet dream
I'll betcha lose your mind

[Chorus 2]
Hurrah, let's do this
Enjoy obscenery, born ruthless
Kiss it goodbye, stupid
We're all caught in the middle and useless

[Post-Chorus 2]
In the obscenery, forget what used to be
'Cause there's no love for anyone who isn't me
[Bridge]
Ain't it a little strange?
I'm tired of being awake
Do you think we'll break?
Like a slap in the face

[Outro]
More than a little strange
We really need to wake
Everything gon' break
We're too fucking late
Enjoy the obscenery, goodnight

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
