lyrics

There ain’t a cloud
for miles in this black hole,
or at least as far as I can tell.
What’s not as brightly lit
hides in the corners of wit,
but just can’t keep to itself.
Where there is daylight,
there remains the chance
it was all inside your head.
An exit revealed
by what you think is real.
You know you’d rather stay put instead.

There ain’t no soul searching worth a damn
in a ghost town of your design.
I just can’t quit
the true abyss
that I’m still waiting to arrive.
I am a scavenger on a bad trip
that sees its face in the dead it consumes.
So gloriously grim,
but the horror begins
when the threat of sobriety looms.

I think I’m blind.
What got me these eyes
that can’t tell between fire and sunlight?
Oh, what’s the point?
They feel the same anyway.
I’ve learned to best
keep picking the brains of the dead.
Regurgitate and ingest again.
I refuse to leave
‘til I haven’t had my say.

Shambled right into a downward spiral
back to the start.
There’s nothing better, I tell ya.
What’s suffering ever done for art?
