lyrics

The cold, damp walls
Of old abandoned malls
Voices
Like howling
Screeching
White glowing brake discs

She's carrying
In her purse
A conflicting fear and wanting
Of random violence
Flinging herself head-first
Into his malicious compliance

You feel a fleeting moment
Of being a child again,
Like actually having parents
Please hear her out
At your very latest convenience

Prime time
Public deflowering ritual
In front of eagerly gazing eyes

She's ”weak and feeble-minded”
Thus must they judge her
And change her course
From here on out

The bump bursts open and imaginary insects start scuttling around
They scatter before you have a chance of getting a grip
Fall
Fall
Fall
Into the abyss

Ban the word ”BABY” from all songs
You still don't know how big a role he's playing in your deterioration
He keeps playing you
Like a dusty, old, out-of-tune piano
Remember
Rules for thee
Not for me

He was always waving at you
During summer time
Through the window of the bedroom

To be gross
Or not to be anything
To have but to never want

She was a far better person than you
So why
May I ask
Are you still alive
While she's not?

You're staring
Mesmerized
Into the the center of a sun flower
Without ever knowing why
You recognise only your own face
In a vast sea of unsettled faces
