Stuck in a loop in pursuit of unwanted?
Taped scenes run over and over?
Lifelines they say huh?, well we've got them all yet bent into circles
1.2.3.4.
I'm on strike somehow, with both "forever" and "just for now"
(On strike I'm found somehow, with both "forever" and "just for now"
Words of a semi-hedonist asking for the thousandth time
Is it all there is to this...
Feeble imitation that's all but giving
Gnaws like acid the moment you give in
And as if it all just wasn't a thrill enough itself being part of this constant rape
Still you're left the time to stare in awe,
witness your own hand run razors up and down your nape,
'cause' there ain't no weight young lad can't take"
Sounds the corporate echo of today, never to fade away, here to reverberate
And then snap! And mouths go all agape when gravity rids another of his aches
Let in some ether for God's sake, let in anything...
...Anything / that would /break/ the curse/ (and) cleanse my life of/ the 'needs' /and 'wants'/ so at the end /of days/ the man / drops dead with more/ gains to match the loss
Bear witness to the greatest man's defeat
Inherent urges that he ought to feed
Are you ready for more?
More sweat, strained tendons
Soiled teeth, bruised ribs beneath
Your ragged clothes
Let us resign on counting breaths we're taking
'cause' times we hold one count
Does it ring a bell now, does it strike a chord?...
