Your disgusting mirror image Slowly convulsing, quivering, fetus face As long as you live, just realize one thing You'll never be anything like what your mommy wanted Baby darling Swallow tradition and spit out blood Swallow modernity b**h puppy love All those legions of lepers Walking the earth Crying to themselves s**ing in poison slowly It's slow Slow and painful When memory cuts through flesh and muscle Bone and fat We're barely alive but breathing through these mechanisms of false stability Golden security blankets We're barely alive but breathing through these sanitized life masks They built us in the 1950s All those minions of walking dead Shuffling through city streets with brick shoes Living forgetful lives just like their parents Breathing disease along with all of us And it's been this way ever since the birth of logic smothered our fantasies With some ego maniacal jargon about philosophical superiority And seriously after years of sharpening pencils and raising our hands We're left swollen stuck in small desks Just like our mothers and fathers were Just like our cousins And grandparents with chalk wrapped around greasy fingers Monotony Tradition Mundane monotony A sign of the times A sign of clogged cycles Just keep of dripping Keep on dripping As long as the rest of humanity falls into puddles Keep on dripping Keep on dripping Just keep on guessing As long as the rest of humanity falls into puzzles Just keep on guessing Flocks of people everywhere with dark X's for eyes All hiding from each other All keeping the best secrets I never guessed that you were an unsolvable riddle One of those that a wise intellectual couldn't have even come up with Barely a question Barely an answer Barely an entity A fantasy created by ghosts I never guessed that you were looked at as the spawn of satan Because you asked your questions Because you took time to forget And all of the sudden you realized that you were A monster in the eyes of a monotone world Keep on dripping
