lyrics

I diddn't pay it any attention 'cause I thought it would be there forever
But when I turned my head to take a closer look it was gone
I'd call it distance but were just ones and zeros apart

Makeshift meat armour that attracts dogs and stops bullets
Your pride swelling like a super nova as you watch
Yourself from the mirror drippping semi frozen fluid on the laundry floor
A double rump steak helmet to stop them stealing your throughts, you thought.

Just Thirty four. Years later. You're the one. Covered in. Animal Parts.
Held together. With staples. With staples.

Today I saw heaven through a hole in the sky
today I saw heaven through a ...

Your eyes are greener on the other side
It's hard to stay focused
When the abyss wasn't gazing back
we were staring out the whole time
Heart beats like a hundred handgrenades
Detonated in quick sucsession
We are the reanimated corpses of ourselves
of ourselves.

Vibrating inverterbretes spread out across the astral plane
condensed into pill form by men in white coats who say they love
their wives, kids and even their dogs. Product identity is a secondary concern
just file them in the clerical hall with all the other pharmaseuticals and terrible
dictators from other more paralell dimensions where the kids grew up with broken heads
and never questioned why. But you have to ask yourself. So go on, open your
mouth just wide enough the words to resonate in your throat, materialize in your
mouth and pry their way through dry cracked, but mostly ashamed lips. Why?
