Opis:	Track 7 from Type O Negative's fifth album "World Coming Down", released on September 21, 1999 on Roadrunner Records. This is seen as the band's darkest and most personal album. As with the band's previous album, October Rust, this album also features a "joke intro": in this case, the intro, appropriately titled "Skip It", is 11 seconds of staccato band noise, meant to sound as if the listener's CD player is skipping. Cassette versions featured the noise of a tape being "eaten" by the tape player. The track ends with what is presumably guitarist Kenny Hickey shouting, "Sucker!" The first song, "White Slavery", deals with cocaine addiction. Two other songs, "Everyone I Love Is Dead" and "Everything Dies," touch on the difficulties of watching family members and loved ones die. The band's awkward and dirgeful song "Who Will Save the Sane?" incorporates, among other oddities, Peter Steele reciting the number pi truncated to 9 decimal places (3.141592653). The album contains three "soundscape" tracks, which are named after internal organs, as segues between songs. Each of these songs is intended to suggest the possibilities of the deaths band members may suffer: "Sinus" as death from cocaine use, "Liver" as death through alcohol abuse, and "Lung" as death by smoking. In an ironic foreboding, Peter once told a close friend that he could not bear to listen to "Sinus" after it was mixed and completed, because the sound of the heartbeat escalating to its furious pace after the suggested cocaine-snorting sound effect actually drove him to the point of an anxiety attack because of its realism. Also featured, at the end of the CD, is yet another cover song, this one a medley of three Beatles songs. This trio of tunes cost the band an enormous sum of money after the recording and release was finalized, much to the dismal surprise of band members, because Michael Jackson's record company owned rights to the Beatles songs used in the medley. LYRICS She thinks I'm iron man that I don't feel pain I don't understand why joy must be feigned I'm so fortunate yet filled with self hate That the mirror shows me an ingrate I could easily start pointing fingers Since the blame is mine it always lingers That the truth it lies in my reflection Though this can't go on there's no question Yeah I know That my world is coming down Yeah I know I know I'm the one who brought it down Brought it down Bring it on down How quickly pass the days long is the night Lying in bed awake bathed in starlight Better to live as king of beasts Than as a lamb scared and weak I will deny my role as a human Holding myself hostage with no demands It's better to burn (to burn) quickly and bright Than slowly and dull (and dull) without a fight Well I know That my world is coming down Now I know I know I'm the one that brought it down Brought it down Yeah, Bring it on down
