t6 5

enable 1 and 2

then 3 and 6

i could tell this place was sick
from the moment i walked in
spreading up my back
freezin' up my spine
i could tell this place was sick
from the moment i walked in
sharp pain in my neck
bad taste in my mouth

but i am a detective
and i'm hot on your trail

i could tell this place was sick
from the bloodstains on the walls
running down the drywall
iron smell in the air
i could tell this place was sick
from the chalk on the floor
a callous passive eulogy
a scrap of a memorial

but i am a hunter
and i've got your scent

i could tell this place was sick
when i read between the lines
found something i can't forget
can't erase from my mind
i could tell this place was sick
when i listened to the tapes
heavy breathing on ferric oxide
life lost on the exhale

i know you did your best
but it wasn't enough
i am an agent of the state
and i've got you pegged
