[Verse 1]
Rot
Face down
In the gutter
Covered in flies, covered in shit
Some pitiful sum gained and spent
But this is what you wanted
This is what you always wanted, isn't it?

[Chorus]
It's the pinnacle of ecstasy
The spiral into blight
One shivering gasp of air
The sign on the door is unrecognizable now

[Verse 2]
You're capsized in a sea of pleasure
You're thrashing in panic, carried in haste
And as the whirlpool sucks you under
You know that this is what you wanted
This is what you always wanted, isn't it? Isn't it?

[Chorus]
It's the pinnacle of ecstasy
The casting off of life
Come slithering back once more
The shadow will crawl as the sunlight falls
The sunlight falls away
[Chorus]
It's the pinnacle of ecstasy
To hollow with the knife
When stuffing its husk once more
The pulp that spills from your hand has turned
