lyrics

If you wait too long, everything smells like shit
And the bars of our cages dissolve but still exist
We turn the pages of our books, look at the blank text
Took our time getting here, fear of putting back regrets
No greener grass on the other side of the fence
I'm a fiend of cash, in the sense of the things I resent
Connect me to that, I have no defense
The meat is bad but I will eat it since
no great effort was ever achieved with equivalence
I always say that never-said is better than insignificant
But my flaw reveals itself, and the road it never quits
even after I peter out on top of the clouds
on the ground lies the means to an end
that doesn't exist in my frown
in it lies the key to the smile I insist can wait awhile
before it's unveiled to the public
But by the time I'm out, I'm day old bread, nothing to fuck with
Talk of the town is somebody's dead, but I'm off the hook
Out of my mind and trapped in bed, nobody took a second look
In my head, thoughts are swirling
I was the man with all the answers, now my cause is turning
into Faust and cancer of the heart, corporeal's something to stand for, even if you can't feel the hand
pulling you apart

I've got my blinders on while they run with this
But I am gone, beneath the underground is a tunnel 'sys
Funnels in the sewage and water, not just shit but other fluids
Concrete guards up against the shards of human flesh
moving through it,
I block my chest, knowing my blood's turning a darker hue as
I ingest that which is true and I reject the world you say is black and blue
But I come back up for air every once in a while
and find myself again, a human being living life by the sundial
that you and me are no more foreigners than other people also born on planet earth
We burn just the same in sunshine and acid rain
Try to find a better name
But I can't compare to the one that's mine
It's only fair to give full disclosure
I'm out there and in here's just a folder
