Ballad of Worms Lyrics

[Intro]
Feeling bad as me
Feeling bad as me
Feeling bad as me
Feeling bad as me

[Chorus]
I can`t get that sound you make out of my head
I can`t even figure out what`s making it


[Verse 1]
What kind of God is this?
Gave me the hottest bitch
Then took the life from her chest and left a pile of shit

Sloppy with a fork, so Chris gotta feed her
Too numb to cum, sometimes she piss while I eat her
I tell her, keep her head up
Even though I gotta hold it up for her
And she seizure when she try and get up
I know I'm irking her, but can't stop what's hurting her
No sleep with her screaming all night, I'm thinking of murking her
Her parents paid for the coffin and left state
After signing the contract, do not resuscitate

Yellin' for mommy
I dip in the morphine to calm me
I'm known in town as the creep that's into zombies
[Chorus]
I can't get that sound you make out of my head
I can't even figure out what's making it
I can't get that sound you make out of my head
I can't even figure out what's making it

[Verse 2]
Stare in her eyes to look past horror
Morphine tolerated, I'm out coppin' horse tranq for her
Like I won't have to go through hell again
Her skin is like saran wrap, barely hangin' from her skeleton
With each one of her ribs defined
My crib's designed
To keep the light out cause she can't lift the blinds
Drifting behind, I'll be outta friends soon
Nobody visits the guy that keeps the body in his bedroom
She's barely alive and taking life from me
With no appetite but the meningitis is still hungry
Wants to make love
But I had to substitute it with holding hands while we take drugs

[Chorus]
I can't get that sound you make out of my head
I can't even figure out what's making it
I can't get that sound you make out of my head
I can't even figure out what's making it

What did Cage say about "Ballad of Worms"?
Genius Answer

Komatose “ I even got to talk to Cage in person and ask him what the song was about, as some speculated it was about the death of hip hop. Alas, Cage told me the song was a love ballad to Zelda from "Pet Semetary”, which IMO is pretty damn cool."
