Come Back
Marilyn Manson · Other Songs - Marilyn Manson
My mouth was a crib and it was growing lies
I didn't know what love was on that day
My heart's a tiny bloodclot
I picked at it
It never heals it never goes away
I burned all the good things in the eden eye
We were too dumb to run too dead to die
This was never my world
You took the angel away
I'd kill myself to make everybody pay
This was never my world
You took the angel away
I'd kill myself to make everybody pay
I would have told her then
She was the only thing
That I could love in this dying world
But the simple word "love" itself
Already died and went away
This was never my world
You took the angel away
I'd kill myself to make everybody pay
This was never my world
You took the angel away
I'd kill myself to make everybody pay
I burned all the good things in the eden eye
We were too dumb to run too dead to die
B) apple of discord
Her heart's bloodstained egg
We didn't handle with care
It's broken and bleeding
And we can never repair
Come Back - Marilyn Manson

The song features a haunting, repetitive hook that blends electronic textures with Manson's signature vocal delivery, creating an atmosphere of eerie intimacy rather than pure aggression. It serves as a pivotal moment in his discography, signaling a shift toward themes of addiction and psychological vulnerability while maintaining the band's theatrical edge. The track's enduring popularity highlights Manson's ability to craft songs that are both visually arresting and sonically memorable, cementing his status as a unique voice in alternative and industrial music.
