Lyrics

    One boy entertained
    by the torments of another
    soul. Touching was confusing
    and he found he was all alone.
    
    He sought salvation in the darkness
    of the choklit. Sweets soaked
    insecurities and sugar teased his
    need to kill.
    
    Peel back, the faces, we hide
    within our choklit shell. Some
    now indulgence, some know and
    some go much too far.
    
    They came hypnotized by the
    promise in his somber grin. He
    saw something in the weakness
    of their skin
    
    Peel back, the faces we hide within
    our choklit shell. Some know
    indulgence, some know and some go much too far
    
    Jeff saved for later, his prizes
    of iniquity: polaroids to covet
    and bones to hide in 213...
