[Chorus]
Open the gates which up I swim
Let's do it the easiest way, inviting me in
Deep in the lake, deep in the mud
Push at the dirt, disturbing the dust
Look at the teeth, look at his fate
Now push up my chin and look at my face
Deep in his mind, the feeling remains
So look at the swamp and remember the place (Huh)

[Verse 1]
You're gonna stay, you're gonna burn
What was I worth? Well, I'm gonna learn today
I wish there was a- Wait, there was a better way
But I'm gonna kill you here and you're gonna die today
I think you're beautiful, more so when dead
As opposed to you when you had took my life away
'Cause you could feel my pain, now, can't you, loved one?
How does it feel to face your own venom?
Oh, it's bittersweet

[Verse 2]
It's all about tonight
Flooded roads and passageways
In water, you still look the same
And why survive to hate this place?
The ocean smacks, I taste the waves
Twenty years, you cast away
Crustacean formed around the brain
Kitchen chairs will rot away
Inside the swamp's the safest place
[Chorus]
Open the gates which up I swim
Let's do it the easiest way, inviting me in
Deep in the lake, deep in the mud
Push at the dirt, disturbing the dust
Look at his teeth, look at his fate
Now push up my chin and look at my face
Deep in his mind, the feeling remains
So look at the swamp and remember the place (Huh)
