lyrics

embellishing the medicine, synthetic engineering
'til the cellular division leaves you heading to the ceiling
bending everything within your head and interfering
the demon eats your body 'til you shed your skin-appearance
beautiful is ugly; genius is stupidity
invisibility's cheap suit is getting weak
setting free the machinery's soul but leaving a note
to keep in its whole deviant prose
I would keep it as whole instead of dis-easing this keeper, a home
that we live alone, connected through immediate flow
everyday is like the Butterfly Effect
and nothing sweet to keep consuming like a hungry diabetic
Shutter Island; pulling the straitjacketed / medicine cabinet
consumerists into fucking hiding
we don't need no medication
we just need a better day spent

We don't need no medication (x3)
Hey, hey, leave those kids alone

picking bones from the pit of lost ones
pendulum-swing to this little song but
it isn't all done; the rabbit-hole's deeper
than a critter crawling right in a coffin
like six-feet full of skeletons and empty skull-bones
fallen angels that went but never gone home
living in a false glow lit up on a dark road
cut the image through the middle and dissolve slow
distractions provoking sickness and madness
bolted into your fascist soul-dismissive reaction
give yourself to your doctor for prescription
profit from toxic intervention
swallowing pills and dying to the physics
of manipulation advertising 'cause you feel sick
You don't need no medication
You just need a better day spent

(Hook)

(Cryptic Wisdom):
We live in the dark, are taught to have feared fight
And the superior power is to appear right
Telling us all we're hanging for dear life
And we need this, need that for cure, right
And the masses are so damn hooked
Nevermore do we look at the facts or read a book
It's all force fed through convenience
And the parents are letting it happen, no lenience
I was one of the kids that never functioned
At least to society's terms, I said fuck this
Was using drugs and heavy medication
But none of it was ever pure as the meditation
You ain't crazy, just shut em all out
Scream, shout and tear every wall down
You and me are the same, it's all one
And as soon as you know that it's true, the pain numbs

(Hook) x2
