just look at us taking pictures of ourselves

under veils and masks with wires sticking out from our lapels

there we are standing unconscious of our constant review

as if the shutter stops down and marvel at how far we have come


god forbid that i ever had a hammer

i would make your troubles piss amongst the fire of an ocean

its a shallow fucking thought but ive got to bare in mind

its a sign of whats to come and we'll dissolve.


ive got to gouge the brilliance out of my fucking head

ive got to tear it out before it tears through me


youre breaking up but i can tell just from your voice

that they took much more than just those lucid dreams you couldnt bare

the prescription strength retreat that makes you so aware at night

then the awful state of soundness through the silence in your eyes



cause while we sleep they are stationed up at dawn

to clip our wings so freedom rings an outright lie

backed up against a dresser and other upturned furniture


you wanna see an irrational man?



How can you sleep at night?

knowing theyve turned a man upon himself

why cant they sleep at night?

i never knew and i never will.
