lyrics

I can’t live this way
And neither can you
Every last shred of the truth
Is cracked and screwed
Freshly projected on the news
Cruel cadaver
Torture is closer than happiness
Torture is closer than happiness
Oh well then you know you’ve got a problem, son
So what you gonna do about it?
Anything at all?

Well just don’t lose your voice
It’s all you’ve got
And holy shit, if you don’t start screaming then I’m gonna have to hurt you
Come on boy, hit that top
Let it quake to the tectonic rock bottom
If you don’t start screaming

Torture is closer than happiness
Torture is closer than happiness
Oh well then you know you’ve got a problem, son
So what you gonna do about it?
Probably nothing at all

The world is in pieces but it demands all of me
Pain lives in secret, my private biology
And I can’t stop screaming, but I can’t even open my mouth
How will I ever leave this house?
My body, cold stiff and swollen
Is a pirate ship odyssey,
Surrogate ideology
I’m trapped
In my own treasure map
I’m a fish on a place mat, gutted and served to myself
Watching death poke my stiff open mouth
(In silence)
How will I ever leave this house?
How will I ever leave this house?

Cuz I got a cruel cadaver
A cruel cadaver
My body is clutter
Used for evil
Used for evil
I am, I’m not their machine
Yeah I got a cruel cadaver
A cruel cadaver
My body is clutter
Used for evil
Used for evil
I am, I’m not their machine
I’m not their machine
I’m not their machine
I’m not their machine
I’m not their machine
Cruel cadaver
