As a parting gift I gave you new tattoos That read "not safe for internal use" There's a growing rift between the true believers And the overworked and the underachievers No such thing as a curse that can't be dispersed With a good old-fashioned chipper machine I keep people's secrets written safe across my forehead In bright red ink just so I don't forget This one's for the churches that litter the land That baptise with benzene and evangelize with sand There's a blanket of shadow that threatens the country That can't be dispelled except by a queen I'm of the school of thought that love can part the ocean Given 15 minutes tops and some condoms and lotion But this class of elites worshipped by a plurality Claims that words aren't what they mean There's some bile in my throat that's starting to burn It's for christening the pretentious and anointing the stern Anybody who denies all the carnage around us Doesn't know what I've heard, what I've seen It's a long way up to the gates of heaven But they've been shot up, film at 11 You can't have sex with the body electric But everyone nearby's already gone septic "There are some things that deserve a bit of arson" Scream the words on loop inside of my head It takes someone special with the same amount of luck To become a world leader or be killed by a truck You might think this feeling means your heart's been stolen But it's just something rotten inside your colon I'm looking for catharsis in this toxic coal mine But I always find sorrow instead Lack of critical thinking doesn't always mean dumb It could also be banality has rendered you numb I now pronounce the couple husband and wife And preemptively clinically dead A bunch of disconnected, unrelated imagery Is the only thing you'll ever end up getting from me The color-blind are right in the grand scheme of things There's no difference between green and red Autonomy's a concept that I've never experienced A word I've only heard in myths and legends and rumors I hatched out of a clutch that was laid by a spider My motor skills are held back by societal tumors Our destiny is set to be all pawns for the plutocracy Our only weight as people is our role as consumers Unless we learn to loosen our chains I wish I could ignore it but I'm forced to acknowledge That we're bogged down in this quicksand by imbalance of power And that if we want affection from the marionetteers We have to dance for our dinner over 63 hours And we can't refuse the offer because beggars can't be choosers Even though the taste of leather boots is bitter and sour We can't endure our hunger pains So I'll staple a comedy mask to my face Until my personality's been erased And in bed I'll cry for hours cause I know I'm a disgrace But hey, it's a living Is this really living? In dreams I see a future where there's something called "freedom" And the people aren't subject to the whims of the moguls Whips and jails and scoliosis don't exist but in memories There's no such things as barons or oppression or nobles The sun is shining brightly on a land of all the liberated Bodies clean of all the gunk that kept us immobile And none of the evil remains I don't think that I'd call it regression It's more a spot of chronic depression Nothing's wrong with your eyes, but you still can't see It's nothing that should go without mention A parasite that eats comprehension Victims aren't offenders, Q.E.D Jesus wanted me to die Otherwise he'd never let me live in the first place Jesus wanted me to die That's the only reason I was born Jesus wanted me to die Why else would I even be alive in the first place Jesus wanted me to die Cause I deserve his ire and his scorn
