Refined blend of sentiments Mounted on a handmade frame Bland and lazy elegance Begging to be set aflame But maybe it's just my TV screen Things are hard to recognize through layers of plastic bags But maybe it's just my TV screen You never know which end is really disconnected I tried to cut her with a kitchen knife Not to hurt her, just to see if she was in fact alive I broke down with a grin As the room started to spin Sometimes it's killing me that I can totally live with this stale taste on my tongue Sometimes I throw up cause I know that I have the spit to swallow what goes down so wrong Sunglasses will help you keep appearances while wading through the shit You can't avoid it; so you might as well enjoy it And Spread the love They won't harvest our organs If we strike first If we think fast If we wear 'em out before they know of us All the fruit in the world lost its sweetness and taste All the meat it's tenderness Being numb is so goddamn flavourless The floor is cold The floor is hard The high wore of long ago This is chronic medication
2.
Please, don't mistake this thing for a microphone It'd be a shame if we'd have to end this conversation so abruptly Empty your pockets and face the fucking wall We have reasons to assume you'll be deviating soon Pray that the whisky won't wear off A steady hand is a gentle lover I'm distraught, too, but I can't help I've got voices to silence Mouths to feed And most people don't see my value Where I come from, invaders don't get invitations Please, don't make all those hours we sat in the sun, get the better of us It'd be a shame if our wives Had to suffer for those Little white lies You know the terror pension brings This may sound arbitrary... But let's rationalise this abuse It's not that we are too stupid to see through your charade It's that the increasing complexity of your lies, seems like flattery to us
3.
Faceless No inherent purpose Divine blob of brains We're Frankenstein and we are too scared to admit That we're quite handy with a bonesaw and a thread Force fed through a tube and its appetite isn't waning Are we even pumping it in, or is that thing sucking us dry? We gave up all control so we could shift the blame You can't deny it looks seductive in that ever bulging gown All it took was a wink And a halfhearted one at best Let the pitchforks and torches take you and show you You can't set panzers to stun

Iron Lung 02:13
I wouldn't care if the poison was made from babies If it helped me deny it Keeping me just as alive as I need to be, these Iron Lungs stall the rot It's happening again I long for meaning I'm craving for goals I'm looking for a script that, in my opinion, has some pacing issues Sell out your idols Lay down your honor Skip all rehearsals And fuck the director I am so unspeakably happy, blood is gushing from my ears I swear the editing will make it not as bad as it appears I've been led so wrongly Or have I failed myself? Curled up in the fetal position Caught in a loop of stock footage showing nothing at all Bored to chase a higher plane and find nothing at all Bored to raise a question and be told nothing at all All my values will amount to nothing at all And I'm loving it because There is no boredom in sweatshops No search for answers when the bomb drops
5.
The lawyers and dope fiends will tear a hole into your wealth Pitchless is the ripping sound of their toothless jaws Why won't the full body cavity search bring me my ignorance back? Cause I sling answers where there weren't even bare concepts I sling security where there can be no cure So, save your breath Hold your awe And physically open your brain to this brave new machine With the beads of St. Jude around our neck Into my Laboratory We sing praise to the crimes we committed In my laboratory Why won't the cavity search bring my ignorance back? Why won't the metal rods bar me from knowing?
6.
Another day I was standing in line at the food chain I was told that all change was just in perception That vegetables could bleed And we're tonedeaf to their screams What we can learn from the cannibals is to really see the good in man But the town has claws and the town has fangs So get tight grip in her veiny legs while peeking under her skirt But it's all just background noise To the ringing in my ear I am not entirely sure if this is the happy ending I'd choose Cause nothing ever ends What we can learn from the cannibals is to really see the good in man But the town has claws and the town has fangs And it's full of people like us, who can see or feel no good Who have left their inner child at the truck stop to grow up in the wild
7.
Empty passion drives us onward Could be the bedsores But the results are pretty much the same Petty wars and violent discourse Who says vanity doesn't pay off? But from the eyes of the herder we are all the same strain of veal Well mannered barbarians Lifestyle pushers Even the whitest teeth can not cover the stench of rot The stomach craves more while the eyes fake excitement Boarding a hamsterwheel to run away from the Well mannered barbarians Lifestyle pushers The successful parasite has no interest in killing its host And I laugh as the firestarters and arsonists Set their living rooms ablaze And touch themselves with an almost childlike bliss We mutilated ourselves with a needle and a thread Volatile benevolence With hardly a price tag attached Now get in line with the beat of the useless, the dance of the useless, the groove of welfare A patchwork of human skin has sown itself up and is leading the parade All riled up Expressive boredom
