lyrics

I've been sitting in my room
Thinking about
How I finished you

I've been haunting the grave
Scavenging for clues or
Any scrap of an excuse
To give to you

But there's not one
All that stays
Is the same
Decaying face
Staring back at me

I greet it again
Its just an old friend
By now
Its just an old friend

In the distance
A scream begins
Memories
Come flooding in
It feels just like
A megaton

The headlights of
The Chevrolet
Are flickering
The visual
Is giving me this
Cyclone nausea

Cockroaches'
Cacophony
Scuttling
The piper's beat
While in front of me
The inevitable
Is laid

Can't escape the megaton
Carcasses are pilling up
You already know
Is this enough to prove?
How much you need?

Gazing out the windscreen
Feeling high as this months rent
Passings signs for Kilmacanoge

You summoned me
To cross the bridge
While you were
Sacrificing kids
Yet somehow I still feel the monster though

A deer it runs
Across the road
I tried to stop
Your smile said no
And I drifted off again

Like the wave that hits the sleeping duck
And suddenly
There’s not enough
Air to breath
Or conjure up
The words or spell
To make it stop
The thing erupts

Apologies a sneaky way
To selfish soothe
You seldom loose
Just change the sides
While still ignoring all of the rules

Can't escape the Megaton
Carcasses are pilling up
But you already wanna know
Is this enough to prove
How much you need
Tumbleweeds dance around
Stage hands of the mushroom clown
Can't escape the Megaton

The herald in the fallout zone
He flapped his wings and cried aloud
To the handsome mosquitos below

"You do it to yourself
You do it to yourself
That's why there's no escaping it"
