| Ice cold hand of your newest enemy
|
| Smell the fear as the bodies grow sweaty
|
| The strongest god is the deity of the petty
|
| In the pantheon of isolated passions
|
| He wins
|
| For the city sings its prayers to him
|
| With every silent prejudice
|
| And every warm smiling bias
|
| The sky turns heavy and humorless
|
| We’re redefining our sentience
|
| In the golden age of loneliness
|
| And you think you’re doing it
|
| You’re doing it, you’re doing it right
|
| And then like freshly opened eyes
|
| Exposed to broad day light
|
| S this feeling or convincing?
|
| Or is my gut misleading
|
| All control is an illusion
|
| And all compassion is a drug
|
| Smile on drip
|
| Pull the goddamn plug
|
| Long live the cult of thug, amen
|
| I’m walking down the streets of Los Emptiness
|
| I step over the ghost of hope still restless
|
| And you think you’re doing it
|
| You’re doing it, you’re doing it right
|
| You keep your mind tight
|
| To keep the mood light
|
| Don’t let yourself show
|
| Don’t let the others know
|
| It’s all just pretend
|
| My greatest friend
|
| Is a black box
|
| In the golden age
|
| Of loneliness
|
| In a world where men become demons
|
| And women into witches
|
| All realness is fleeting
|
| How easily it all switches
|
| With great overtures of friendship
|
| That don’t mean shit
|
| When you’re about to be somebody else’s meal ticket
|
| And the irony is that it feeds the leech
|
| That keeps us out of reach
|
| You can not teach
|
| The broken glass on the beach
|
| Set to lacerate
|
| The heavy soles of fate
|
| Just when you thought it was safe to be alone |
