Lyrics Hooks and Wires - Eye of the Enemy

Hooks and Wires

I, I’m feeling fine
Just wasting time
By watching debutants
All dressed in brine
And that besides
Formaldehyde
Needs help preserving this life
My arms around your shoulders
Like a rope around your neck
Hearts beat to stay unbroken
My arms around your shoulders
Like a rope around your neck
Hearts beat to stay unbroken
I’m feeling fine
I’ll wear your hide
And drape your conscience
Wet, over the side
Of my empire
Of hooks and wires
From which I hang desires
My arms around your shoulders
Like a rope around your neck
Hearts beat to stay unbroken
My arms around your shoulders
Like a rope around your neck
Hearts beat to stay unbroken
Patience patients
Lest you float away
My eyes are Turing holes
Filled with bending rays
And my mind;
vestigial growth
Determined by brain states
But as you dissipate
To try to disappear
Would it kill you just to
Leave me a gratuity
No lessons learned in chains
No prayers save those you make in vain
No walls to string you by your veins
No bleach to wash away the strain
