lyrics

He likes exploding
runs as fast as he thinks he can
he goes over and over
thoughts that he thought that he could understand
he's got time to get closer
to reasons that he's left out of the master plan
but he adores monoculture
confused and playing with himself again he's like:
"I got a fire that burns that makes me make you wanna die"
and my heart beats itself up a thousand times a night

Tea lights exploding
they set fire to the sentiments about feeling so hopeless
these cunts are trying to keep me in the dark again
between two rising oceans
think they believe their own lies again
and there's a sound of a voice so soulless
echoing
I want this reign to be over

Heart beats
itself up a thousand times a night
I got a fire that burns that makes me make you wanna die
Gone way too far too far to ever compromise
now don't you try to make me change my mind
revenge is not a place to stay on
But we can't wait for your castration
You've gone way too far to just throw shade on
chaos unlocked combinations

Such good healing energy on this album. Perfect for recovering from surgery. Thoughtful, plaintive, free of kitschy standard rock moves. Probably still good without the surgery. ;) spencer_huggies
