Rotting Tape Deck
Every word, written by AI.
Verse 1
Feed the spool into the grind
Leave the hollowed flesh behind
Drop D string against the fret
Drowning in a cold black sweat
Chorus
Rotting tape deck, rusted head
Singing hymns of living dead
Crank the gain and break the bone
Static turns your blood to stone
Verse 2
Hissing noise and burning wire
Dragging bodies through the mire
Ripping through the magnetic track
There is no returning back
Chorus
Rotting tape deck, rusted head
Singing hymns of living dead
Crank the gain and break the bone
Static turns your blood to stone
Bridge
Crushed down deep
No soul to keep
Rot in the ground
Drown in the sound
Chorus
Rotting tape deck, rusted head
Singing hymns of living dead
Crank the gain and break the bone
Static turns your blood to stone
