Attica! Attica! - Motion Sickness lyrics

wipe the dead skin from these keys so I can start this one off clean let me introduce the scene act 1 scene 1 a baby grand with broken strings enter stage left a drifter lost and foraging and in his hand a notebook filled up with his out-of-tune musings he turns a page and he plays and sings this song five billion suffering while i sleep underground always en route to the next goodbye a mother slaps her child but the kid don't make a sound and to my surprise neither do i so i'll just cut out my tongue and rip out my lungs 'cause they're useless and atrophied and i'll fly them like kites applauding their sacrifice oh yes it'll be one great afternoon hell yes it'll be one great afternoon when these burdens fly away like red balloons have i gone insane dreaming of hijacking this train tears stream as i accelerate to speeds where time willingly dilates and i'll watch this world die through these windows it's blurring but I still see people who could use my help so I reach out but i'm moving too fast so I cry loud i can't hold my grasp with no home my only keys are these yellowed ivories and i'll ask them rhetorically is this all that my hands can do?
