lyrics

You remember what you said
I do
and hit hard like
an arrow to chest
narrow as your depth
cupid misfired
got me chasing a dream
question less test
the answers on a quest
and might not make it back
in one piece...
one part
heart
and the rest
is a coal burning engine
banished to a vacuum
no oxygen to burn
so just wait your turn
and if your last breath lasts
I suggest..
you try not to laugh

I've been the, man of the hour
and the, mack of the minute
accidentally in power
expounding on a gimmick
it ain't wrong if you chuckle
but I found something in it
buried underneath it
sickle and a hammer
pitch fork and a shovel
blood splattered banner
and a mechanical couple
panoramic paranoia
gallows in the living room
mass grave television
gather round the box
that replaced conversation
rotting bodies will
decompose on the couch fine
they know the passion is inside
they want to bury the mind
buy up the commodities
fear the foreign invasion
buy and sell properties
see saving is wasting
fuck a family dinner
strip the innocence
from a couple little kids
heat a spoon lick a needle
string a noose pick a people
kill a faggot for christ
cause that cross makes you right
….right?



And with a sudden change of art
you protect the pieces on the
board you once tore apart
just to see if they bleed
anything like you
…
and that blood made you see
we're all the same in the dark
but generations of lies
have got you questioning at heart
…
but maybe they aren't like you
because you aren't like them
understand that
no matter how far, you are, from me
the distance between us is always the same
no matter how different, I am, from you
the difference between us is always the same

always the same
