lyrics
This coffee machine squeaks and squawks
Inadequate life has been spent upon this box
I revere the years between these stained glass lies
Wire coils, an assembly wife
The razor choir sings your life
Black lungs, sunk souls, and blue screen eyes
And let's do something just a little bit different today
Chorus:
Do you thirst for life?
It’s a simple question so answer concise
Have you set ablaze your own home
Lost the taste for flesh and your soul is gone
Plastic letters are worth more than words
A paper shredder for my little girl
Do my eyes decide?
The bovine ties reside where my family pries
Slice my artery and watch the clock
Waiting for the day that my heart stops
Codeine collage and a bullshit smile
And let's do something just a little bit different today
*Chorus*
Bite your tongue
It will rot in your mouth
Hold your words
And soon they won't come out
Oh how wild these hands
All the while these hands
And yet these hands
*Chorus*
Inadequate life has been spent upon this box
I revere the years between these stained glass lies
Wire coils, an assembly wife
The razor choir sings your life
Black lungs, sunk souls, and blue screen eyes
And let's do something just a little bit different today
Chorus:
Do you thirst for life?
It’s a simple question so answer concise
Have you set ablaze your own home
Lost the taste for flesh and your soul is gone
Plastic letters are worth more than words
A paper shredder for my little girl
Do my eyes decide?
The bovine ties reside where my family pries
Slice my artery and watch the clock
Waiting for the day that my heart stops
Codeine collage and a bullshit smile
And let's do something just a little bit different today
*Chorus*
Bite your tongue
It will rot in your mouth
Hold your words
And soon they won't come out
Oh how wild these hands
All the while these hands
And yet these hands
*Chorus*
