lyrics

I heard that you threw yourself down a flight of stairs because you were so tired
Of feeling terrible for everything you've done
The world was hanging upside down and heads were rolling on the ground
With the head of half the man you used to be

A visionary
In alchemy
A spoiled envy
A man decaying

Oh my god
They've killed them all
The last were shot
Before the fall
And the winter that followed was 20 years long (x4)

Oh tell me what your face looks like in turin on a friday night
And I will time-trip with you back to 1944
I will dress in red and plant explosives underneath the cattletruck
That stole your soul and robbed you of your right to die alive
With the ferassie's and loving guards all stacked up on the clinic beds
No money grows up 'tween your arms, but something does between your legs

A diatribe thing
Though not much speaking
A state of being
And terrifying

{what kind of mass production
new bodies steady burning
and the infirmary not
for healing only hurting
deader apothecary
god damn near full and plenty
in the infirmary and
out in the yard}
