“I see we’re back to our old games again,” the video text reads, coinciding with the song playing.
“Take the dead whore out of the closet,” the video continues.
“Let’s go play friends.”
The video then takes a turn, and the words become more haunting.
“Maybe I’m afraid of a long goodbye. Prisoner’s don’t escape, they just love to die on your line.”
