S.E.D. Songtext
von Suicidal Tendencies

My house was kinda lonely
On the cutting of the emerging soil
Crazy hits, shot bitch, hypnotised by violent fish

Feels like rats chewing under my skin
Emotions terrorize growth within

Systematic Emotional Destruction
Dysfunction
DFDS inside, it′s almost like you have got nothing
Nothing, got nothing

The pressure on my chest, my tongue, makes me want to breathe
I can't breathe
While the empowered neighbor′s putting pressure on me
Fuck me

Feels like rats chewing under my skin
Emotions terrorize growth within

Systematic Emotional Destruction
Yeah, to envision my self-hatred, my last working bombshell
I hate, hate, hate, hate myself


No purpose, no day, no hump, no great protection
No hope, no nothing
Like predicted, my soul nicely mangled in suspension
Dig, dig out of suspension

After standing, naked and alone
I'm made to wonder, how many other sins must I atone?
And as my mind's a fog and my shredded light is gone
I′m cursed with the knowledge, whatever good deeds I do is never enough
And as you′ve said, it seems like days and days and multi, multi years more
I think I won't quite receive the support I′m looking for
But I'm way too proud to have this taint to me as damaged goods
As I′m quick, quick to dare some post redemption and miracles
Sometimes meek and timid cast myself to possibly be another mercy
Talk of mercy, it's a passing prize, I needed, you can′t even care less
Everytime I tried to slay, the demons were deep, deep, deep within
You've been caught by the spirit to better prevent the course of sin
You better have it in your compassion just as father, mother, mother
A simple deed for you, it's all I want to talk to now

Can′t save me...
No you... won′t save me
No you... can't save me
Just change your state of mind

Systematic Emotional Destruction


Feels like rats chewing under my skin
Emotions terrorize growth within

Systematic... Emotional... Destruction
