Even if you had to do it again
you wouldn't sense the difference
of friends and skin
and bends and turns
along the gorge you learn
but the karma I've created
it's a thought I'm pushing away
until it pulls back and welts my face one day
all you see is open
and all you feel seems real
with a positive reaction
and a conscience made of steel
wrapped my head remorse like fishhooks
and they're biting hard today
and the voices are carrying corpses
and the storyboard go blank
and so does my face
so does my face
oo
I can't even function without sound self medication
without serious reservations
without being segregated from our needs
I'm like a butchered rhythm section
as defense mechanisms go off in my peripheral vision
The plateau of feeling
is I'm counting my eggs too much
and some days
it's a decade to erase
and you hold down
emotions
pushed well over the quota
The faux pas of dealing
is I'm leaning on drugs too much
and some days
it's a prisoning refrain
but overall it's second nature
besides what's a blind man
who's never seen at thing
at all
As these things get covered up in mud this doesn't end
and all the in-betweens are slowly devouring the truth
as these things get covered up in mud this doesn't end
and all the in-betweens are slowly devouring the truth
as these things get covered up in mud this doesn't end
and all the in-betweens are slowly devouring the truth
And in my
peripheral vision
there are young girls being slain
and I can't help in any way
in my
peripheral vision
the demons are entertained
smoking cigars
and digging my grave
