[Intro]
Decadence and disorder
Decadence and disorder

[Verse 1]
Don't start off slow and steady
Give it everything you've got
If pain strikes in a bullet
Then I swear I'll take the shot
A sincere sense of mar Deus
So sweet and calorific
Success within the mirror
Makes your body paralytic
Let me make a guess
You feel you've lost your sense of hope?
And you feel that no one's present
When you're struggling to cope?
You have a futile strategy
You tell yourself you're fine
Well, Honey, ditch that method
I promise you'll like mine

[Chorus]
My promises are hollow
So, fill them in yourself
'Cause on your own, another stone
Might jeopardise your health
I promise, Darling, stick with me
I'll steer you clear of greed
Now, stick your fingers down your throat
And vomit 'til you bleed
[Verse 2]
What's the use in trying
When you know you're going to fail?
My love, if you obey my rules
I'll see that you prevail
Abandon those who care for you
I'll love you like no other
My vulnerable, my prey
My significant other

[Chorus]
My promises are hollow
So, fill them in yourself
'Cause on your own, another stone
Might jeopardise your health
I promise, Darling, stick with me
I'll steer you clear of greed
Now, stick your fingers down your throat
And vomit 'til you bleed

[Bridge]
'Cause you're the darkest star
Within the galaxy of life
Remove the fork and spoon and
All you're left with is a knife
The knife that juts your shoulder blades
And tears between your bones
Creates the sighing of your ribs
Your face, the sallow tones
Your vision's blotchy, blurred, and blank
You try to understand
Shiny walls, an IV drip
A needle in your hand
Your body feels concave within
Your heart's a stubborn pound
What's this? You won't get thin this way
Get up and run around
My promises are hollow...

[Chorus]
My promises are hollow
So, fill them in yourself
'Cause on your own, another stone
Might jeopardise your health
I promise, Darling, stick with me
I'll steer you clear of greed
Now, stick your fingers down your throat
And vomit 'til you bleed

[Verse 3]
Decadence and disorder
Decadence and disorder

You promised me your love
You promised every day
Instead, you made my life run cold
My body waste away
But a promise is a promise
And now, I shall comply
And so, I took her final breath
And left her there to die

You want it all? You've got it all
[Chorus]
My promises are hollow
So, fill them in yourself
'Cause on your own, another stone
Might jeopardise your health
My promises are hollow
So fill them in yourself
'Cause on your own, another stone
Might jeopardise your health
I promise, Darling, stick with me
I'll steer you clear of greed
You want it all? You've got it all
I'm everything you need

[Outro]
A promise can be delicate
Adherence is the key
(Decadence and disorder...)
To compose a prose that others chose
Is tricky, you'll agree
The elation from starvation
Is a death without remorse
My psychotic, painted promises
Will render you a corpse
