Ego

You make me feel like I'm in danger of a new surprise
But here I am
Watching the mirror mould the man
You make me feel like I'm in danger of a new surprise
But here I am

Everything explained
And still I want more
Never satisfied with instruction
It burns like lye
But what I own is brittle
Cast in a godless mould
And if I could find pleasure in pain I'd
Let the truth unfold

Indulge me with a little sugar
Your gifts are painfully sweet
And how strange matter looks
When your'e told it's a trick of the eye
So evolve like a leech and
Suck me dry

It comes to claim us all
An ever hungry soul
That dreams of pure ego

Forget the fantasy
Just slide in side reason

It comes to claim us all
An ever hungry soul
That dreams of pure ego

Produce, reproduce

Burn it burn it all down
A pleasant vista can't contend
With make believe
Cotton trees and silver leaves
Symbolic of another world
A product of the reproduced
Maybe it's right maybe it's wrong

I want to feel light headed
Without needing to abuse
And watch the atoms fall round
To create a better view
But you always say
That it's no good to want to change
And you reproduce all the same

Celebrate the death of our design
You'll celebrate

Silicone won't save you from ageing
The artificial ridicules the organic
A kind of narcissism that likes to play games
A product of the reproduced
Maybe it's right maybe it's wrong

I want to feel time happen
Without being confused
Eliminate the losers
And all of those who refused
But you always say
That it's no good to want to change
And you reproduce all the same

The left eye
Cries more than the right eye

Produce, reproduce

Hurting people is easy

Starved of oxygen
The blood swells
To the service of my skin
I can never forget you
Every time I remember I feel sick
So I'd like to cheat on you
While you watch me watching you

Hurting people is so easy to do
You do it with a gesture
I'm no one special and neither are you
So come back down to earth

So now I'm a little lost a little numb
As the medication sets in
THe tender moments recede
And I'm left thinking what I've done
To deserve this cynicism
So I'd like to cheat on you
While you watch me watching you

Feel
Can you feel
Explain to me
Why nature makes you so ashamed
But I can't complain I've never been so vain
But you don't know why
Don't no why you're so sorry

Hurting people is easy to do

Seeing is for the blind

I flinch and then recoil
The emperor has sedated us all

How am I supposed to see
With these sticky eyes you gave me
Full of all the thoughts that cause
Omission through denial

Explain how you
You make me feel like a God
You play me like a fool

What's that look for

The more I look
The harder it is to see
It's like a parasite

Under the skin it starts to itch
It feels like I'm made of white noise
Cells separate on mass
Collapse collapse collapse

Slip one
Take the edge of things
Then another to be better than these things
Seeing is for the blind
Seeing is for the blind

What's that look for

The truth is at the base
The truth is at the base of my spine

We live through chemicals

Panacea

What a waste of time
Learning to tip-toe along straight lines
Where have they led
Maker
She knows all the things I crave to know
Maker
It's not the detail you remember
It's the feeling the detail forms

You resemble the best part of me
Shadow you like a freak
You resemble the best part of me

Partial lubrication
Allows me to fit better
In the shape you wish
Make her
A scapegoat for the things I miss
Maker
It's not the detail you remember
It's the feeling the detail forms
Your memory is a fix that could save me
Made in whatever form

This cure will bring me
This cure will bring me new relief

Intravenous now dependent
Confused equation
Test tube answer
You're my panacea

You resemble the best part of me
Before

Fallen

This carousel is born of being
Measured in illusion
With products on display
Time to play time to play
To cushion your fall is to be the last
In line of a chinese whisper
Couldn't give a shit
If you compromise
We need to stem the flow of the tides
We're on a race down to the floor
I don't want to be first
We are

We are fallen
Formation breakaway
We are fallen

You've a phobia of listening
You speak when there is nothing to say
I can't pitch to that emaciated drawl
You couldn't get a better fuck
Than with your finger on repeat
Look at all the people down by your feet
Crawling on the floor
We are

And now we stand like liers
Afraid to tell the truth
This is golden utopia
A blemish fades in time
But doubtless you'll remind me of mine
The sarcasm gets me down
It's all over now
Listless and wishless
I'm calling out can't see anyway to protect this
On and on we go
We are fallen
