Hiding the smell of my own decay
Flesh and bones are all I own
Hugging my inner child until they choke
Righting wrongs once and for all
Drilling holes meticulously in the ship I'm sailing on
Pulling the strings attached to my own body
Limp and grotesque pantomime
(Dance)
My umbilical cord vanishes
(Dance)
The first of many burning bridges
(Dance)
Purpose subsides as I disengage
(Dance)
I am the womb now, I am the cage
Come what may, I'll be gone anyway
But you're here to stay, you're set to make me pay
(Set to make me pay)
My umbilical cord vanishes
(Pay)
Replaced by cables and circuitry
(Pay)
Purpose subsides as I disengage
(Pay)
Licking the core of the Earth, the war I must wage
As fate and intention grow intangible and abstract
I'm looking for redemption at the bottom of my glass
The ever-inviting screeches of mermaids drawing near
The acrid taste of sultry lips now my deepest fear
You are the night and the sun
And after all life's just begun
But can't you see there's nothing more I could give
I love you and I'll always love you
But your trust is held up by vague memories
Look around, in the wake of a future you're bound to refuse
And stand your ground, for as long as mankind wins humans shall lose
Listen now, find comfort in those simple words
Carve them into your skin
Nothing will ever matter
Nothing fucking matters
Nothing ever mattered
