apathetic
your life is adrift
you beg my intrusion
I enter your mind unaware
I make your decisions
rescind all the values you've held
in favor of white lies
synaptic responses are numb
I leave you quite helpless
you're living your life at the end of a leash held by insecurity

Small World

I live in such a tiny little fucking world
there are no windows, because I know there's no outside
I got your letter-- you know it didn't really mean much
since I'm the only living being in this world
you feeling better? I heard that you might still be crying
It's manufactured-- I know that you're not really bleeding
I got my letter-- sometimes I can't read my own writing
next time I'll type it, and everything will turn out clear
I don't believe the stars are
anything but tiny painted flecks on the ceiling
I don't believe the moon is
anything but a yellow crescent design,
painted on the back of my eyelid
it's getting late now-- I think that I might have to go
but there's still time-- if you're lucky I'll invite you in

Everyone's Ugly Up Close

cut up the earthworm SLICE cut up the earthworm SLICE look it still moves SLICE SLICE cut up the earthworm cut up the earthworm SLICE (dialect skin color religious persuasion sexual preference political views gender income language custom age)
friends of late are just a means to desecrate reality
the sanctity of sincerity
in confidence, I used to dream
now I lay me down awake
wrapped in sheets
my soul to take
society, the masses breed
in contradictions I have seen thrive
countless lies, like open sores
when I was young I bought them all
brought them home and showed my friends
and played them to the bitter end
how many times can we cut up the earthworm
and still watch it move?

Whitewash
03:57

how can you think when you haven't a thought worth repeating?
how can you feel when emotion has passed you by?
how can you know when the knowing is kept by the outside?
how can you say that it's only a childish lie?
how do you feel when you wake in the morning to sunshine
and all you want is for someone to take it away?
see me now and tell me it's worth all the anguish
touch me now, and you know that I might run away
how can you speak, when you haven't a clue, my perspective
tortures me and I am not free to abstain?
take me now, no, I've buried that dream with the whitewash
nothing left, and nothing more to be said
we have no time
we haven't a thing to say

Fat Dog's Gonna Hatch

homicide matricide patricide genocide suicide dead inside
deep inside fear resides avarice greed envy and gluttony
no longer sins but passport to luxury
the world is numb in wait for a godless son
third world has a surrogate a plea that you can't ignore
now there's nothing left for us to do
we're caught we can't give up we're through
we cannot stop we can't go on
the snare is set we're out of time
this dog is gonna hatch
across the China Sea and the southern continent

Elbow Deep In Turkey

sister's face eating betrays what she's thinking
but not quite the way that you would have hoped for
she leaves you so cold
she leaves you in silence
you search for the door but you can't find the exit
resigned to your fate
waiting for daybreak
this isn't the way that you would have had it
