In the elevator on my way down
Into the depths of where the clowns are
they tell me “Hey kid, I'll make you a star, yeah…”
On my way down into the cesspool
Where the modern heroes are made a factory
A machine, when they come out they look so clean
But on the inside, on the inside
Where the thoughts do climb they're covered in grime
They hate themselves and want to die
Does anyone ask why?
On the inside they want to die
Animals in cages
Begging for lost wages
Begging for their souls
Sold to old men
Everything looks so good on the outside
On the outside a projection of pride
Inside there's nothing, nothing but rot
Rotten to the core, I don't want it anymore
Rotten to the core, no
I don't want it anymore
It’s rotten to the core, I don’t want it anymore
Why? Cause it’s rotten to the core
I don't want it, I don’t want it anymore
Why? Cause it’s
Rotten to the core
I don't want anymore
Keep ‘em to yourself
I wanna watch their faces melt away
Get out my face and
Leave me alone
I have to be stoned just to look at you now
Cause you’re
Rotten to the core
I don't want anymore
Keep ‘em to yourself
I wanna watch their faces melt away
Get out my face and
Leave me alone
I have to be stoned just to look at you now
Rotten to the core I don't want it anymore
Fix you with a flame, burn it all and end this game
Gimmie, gimmie gasolina torchin’ muthafuckas
Split em at the seams, ya
I know fire is not really my friend, but then again
I'm ok being all alone bro
In the end I've seen my true face, it’s a ghost
I don't understand, but then again I do know
In the end at least I got to be a real human
In the end I never lived in the cesspool
In the end fire is cool with me, human
I won't choke and you can see the truth of my life in my death smoke
One of the best albums of 2018. Very unique music with deep emotion. Great lyrics and high quality production, worthy of immediate attention Moon and Azure Shadow
One of the reasons why the film is as outstanding as it is, the original soundtrack for the animated feature is a warped and immensely different experience to most other scores to films. Highly underrated. Kei Nishimaru’s Mixed-Up Set (SentinelWorks Releasing)
The new single from ako takes a decidedly woozy take on club music, with dreamy vaporware aesthetics and a deliciously laconic beat. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 29, 2022
