about

This song was inspired by the horrific stories Policemen told when asked what the worst call they ever responded to was.

lyrics

Is it the people you never see
or is it only the ones you'd guess to be
so envious of humanity
so jealous they exude none to see

I throw flames at those scared of fire
I've got callouses on my skin and bones
I've killed men just to look like I like it
I've got callouses on my heart and soul
I've hacked to pieces those I held dear
I've got callouses on my lungs and brain
I've caged victims and killed kids in costumes
I'm calloused over I feel no pain

Maybe it's the kings and the queens
who know that if they want to they'll never be seen
maybe it's your family
who know you'd never suspect a thing

I've hurt babies to stop them from screaming
I've got callouses on my skin and bones
I've taken advantage of those in my care
I've got callouses on my heart and soul
I've made people kill for my own pleasure
I've got callouses on my lungs and brain
I've infected the world with my madness
I'm calloused over I feel no pain
