lyrics

so there I was, minding my own business
bleeding in the septic tank
I woke up, recalled the heinous dream i just had
inspecting my gradually rotting dermis
the navel gazed back onto itself
and within the anaerobic reaction I
gradually peeled it off
coming to life’s end, you re-assess your priorities
what’s gonna happen to my phone contract?
and your entire time on earth flashes before your eyes
should’ve re-used more 5p bags
The earth has strange affection for mob justice
when you’ve got shit for brains
i breathe out and submerge myself

when the gasses get too much for your skull 
packed in vertebrae lull softly and slide out of your spine
oh what a comical sight

“Psychiatry for instance is also apparently meant to improve mankind and the knowledge of the psychiatrists. Psychiatry is also a way to implement a political power to a particular social group. Justice also. It seems to me that the real political task in a society such as ours is to criticise the workings of institutions that appear to be both neutral and independent; to criticise and attack them in such a manner that political violence, which always exercises itself obscurely through them, will be unmasked, so that one can fight against them”

I click my heels and fall away
into sludge and tar where I bathe
leave salvation out to dry; is that what it takes to feel alive? (but there’s no going back for more)
when skin embalms itself in slime you can’t imagine a finish line (but you still strive for more)

I can taste medicine; still bleeding in the septic tank
divine eternal leer

I’ve been validated as well and truly past my sell by date
I’ll rip my soul right out my skin and i’ll find a new one to authenticate

I can taste medicine; still bleeding in the septic tank
divine eternal leer

I click my heels, but i’m still here
what you think you are, it’s not real

I can taste medicine; still bleeding in the septic tank
divine eternal leer
