lyrics

I am made of weapon's grade mass compassion and pearly gates;
uneven tides and crooked moons, insecticide and voodoo too, but that's not all.
I'm the mass-produced third-world abuse with petroleum eyes and screen media too.
I'm the devil's lies and the heaven's blues.
I am everything and then some too.
So I inspect the dead man's chest, surprised to find there's nothing left except...
Except for what we never ever really wanted.
In one way or another all objects are forgotten.
Memories gather quickly in our cupboards and our closets.
Audit all your memories and tell me what's important.
Sunset to sunrise to a black mass in daylight.
But the black mass was fact-checked in the high court of low light.
"And the good men went ape shit with black-market strange kicks.
And the high court of low light ruled it slow-motion suicide."
Change my name. Burn my clothes.
Peel my skin and crack my skull.
