I feel a softening of my will to the deeper pleasures
The darker corners draw my gaze from the simple glitter
I've started liking the feel of crawling through the stinking
Wet walls of piss and litter the cold and hard and rough
I feel brutality has somehow been under-rated
That grating sound that made me cringe at once now makes me grin
I am the island of the future in a closet space
I've felt my face against the floor now I can't get enough
Once I had faith and discipline
Now I've got mockery
I like to posses all the facts
That's what is wrong with me
I don't believe them anymore my cynical side is my whole
I want unlimited my freedom, affluence control
Once I could cage my urges
Once I could stop myself
Once I had safety and I do believe I had my health
Now I've got pockets full of blood, guts, and come and speed
Now I've got ma**es at my feet to come and watch me bleed
Once stood a fallen nation
Destroyed by western fire
Rebuilt to take control of all the world from in the wire
What if the never-ever comes to claim it's place in all this dirt
What if the dawning of the zero years consumes this world of hurt?
Will we be exorcised at last
Our past a sewer to be cleaned
Collective consciousness absolved
And all our demons cast inert?
What if we're sleeping in the wet spot of a culture that's a who*e
To it's traditions and control
It's horrors sealed with closet doors
The skeletons a warning here
Might learn to bite you and invert
The tightest grip you've ever held
And make you s** this world of hurt
Now with the power of a billion stacked in concrete walls
Possessing all the wealth of nations at it's beck and call
I am that land of restraint begging it self not to act
Upon each dark repression
Fighting hard each urge to overact
I am a million years of s** repressed and set to blow
The head off all the world to go where I know there's no coming back
The skeletons a warning here
Might learn to bite you and invert
And make you s** this take and f** you as you chew this world of hurt
