lyrics

he's drowning in his skin
he's dying, sick, and silent; stripping down his innocense
skeletal-bone gloom; this Hell is a home
selling his soul to the half-dead perfectionist broke view
of how the glass should look to the beholder
newport smoke's another cushion for the slow burn
speed pills for the staving of the hunger
manufactured smile just to face his lovely mother
and it hurts; vile, but the rain and what the thunder brings
is love disguised as Satan undercover
sitting in dark rooms admiring his ribcage
machinist, sleeping like he's lying within his grave
no movement shown; no sign of hope
a slow ride of sickness and hate
so, they feed him what they said would be a cure
but, behind this lifeless puppet is the medicine, I'm sure

Lie to me again
I'm staring through a window pane and trying to pretend
this pill could give me Heaven if I buy into the trick
and leave me dining with these thirsty vampires full of sin
bite into my neck and drink the blood before it turns red
siphon me to death and leave me lifeless on the furnace
but, I'll never be the idiotic victim
slipping out of consciousness and dying living

It's the aquarius-era shift to a dimension of gardens & gloomy
foggy but soothing, you're playing your part in the movie
so we travel through rivers, bashing these instrument gavels
mimicing the theme of a mythical chapel
swimming in flatter and moody miracle pastures
vibing out to down-tempo & jazz tunes
packing bowls and rapping flows
playing melodies and progression keys on a black & old piano roll
I'm sitting, staring through hazy cornea eyeballs
pyramids form, painting sorcery signs on
your mind's wall through magical math axiom acts
the sky's cracking in half pouring amethyst gas
I see the science of spirit in the cavern of man
crashing the land of the damned in metallicus cans
when the end hits, who's gonna' be the one to defend this
beast wrapped up in dead skin back to the dust it rests in

(Hook)

Lie to me mindlessly
Kill my soul, silently
No one knows, but I can see
through the game
who's to blame? (x2)

Hands up for the unapologetic
for the "fuck you" dialect we keep uncovered by the second
Thumbs up for the love we've got invested
through this fucking music, knowing nothing might contest it
Hands up for the unapologetic
for the "fuck you" dialect we keep uncovered by the second
middle fingers cocked and ready to blow,
breaking free from that negative hold, let it be known

(Hook)
