Oh

Eyes and ears are all around

And now they're leaving their votes (yeah)

Here I am, three days have gone by

I thought I was never gonna wake up

As if my skull had been replaced with cement

I felt all of my blood disappear through my face

And I looked down and there my body was left

And then I saw a white light, red eyes
