The one who laughs last, does it eternally
The one who laughs last, cries tears of joy
But I'm not the one who's happy
The night you left me, I became an empty shell
We used to laugh in the sunshine
And the falling rain
But I'm not the one who's laughing
I'm the one who's in pain
You never see a clown cry with that big smile that covers the pain inside.
I hear you laugh in the desert
I hear your giggles in the sky
Why can't I start smiling
Without a tear in my eye
I need to learn about laughing
I need to learn about love
I need to learn that you've left me
That you've left me with a scar on the inside
Society thinks that I'm in love
I just want what's inside your erotic corpse
Give me something, give me something to chew on, baby!
Yesterday I saw your face in the local morgue
Jawbones to die for, oh yeah!
One night in thy grave is worth ten in someone else's bed. UGH!
In my morbid fantasies we share the same coffin
The skeleton of my dreams
In my morbid fantasies we share the same coffin
Cold nights in a velvet adorned box
One night in thy grave is worth ten in someone else's bed

Purification are a goddamn brilliant band. I can't stress enough how great they are at the craft of proper doom metal music-making. Buy every album you can find and listen until you are permitted to transcend the realm of the profane and enter a higher state of consciousness. GO NOW AND DO THIS AS I COMMAND! Ryguy
A triumphant-but-bittersweet send-off from the Australian outfit, distilling a decade of doom-metal mayhem into five potent parting shots. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 26, 2023
