killbot 2000

I'm finally getting around to making palettes for the entire Murder by Death album Who Will Survive and What Will Be Left of Them



This is song number two, Killbot 2000

it's about zombie kids. The last line is my favorite especially live, it's really, really great.

you can see more about the albums story here.



"A smell like cigarettes creeps softly through the vents the room is filling up with smoke and little bodies

tell all the boys and girls from school to keep breaking all the rules to let their parents know they're individuals

datura flakes off from your lips you've lost the swagger in your hips your eyes are turning blue to gray

your skin feels soft and sagging down your arms drag across the ground with each step you take and they fall from the jungle gyms

and they fall and piss away each night among the sound of bodies crawling round the room

i can smell their flesh on everything left in this room

chalk and scattered crayons on empty desks for weeks finding clumps of unwashed hair caught between the vents blowing



carry their little bodies to the cemetary so gently please don't let their necks crook towards the ground."
