lyrics

As we at once push
Our bodies into public
Simultaneously we ignore
All of our instincts

To purge
Cherishing a certain need for danger
Fiercely erudite
Subconscious sexual tension

We remain gazing
Into a pool of unconsciousness
A pool within which
There are no answers

A chromatic sheen
Which continues to control

We gasp in horror
At the length of our progression
A nostalgia in which
Meaning cannot be placed
We look at ourselves in the mirror
Starvation is all that we face

The way the past cackles in our DNA
Only to be awakened
When the cell walls are night-worn away

The limited nature of flesh
Flesh as a gateway
And as a jungle
Gives an unjust nature
To the persecution complex we insist upon

We gasp in horror
At the length of our progression
A nostalgia in which
Meaning cannot be placed
We look at ourselves in the mirror
Starvation is all that we face

We put ourselves into this submission
A tenderness
To that we cannot control

To value this submission
We look out into the world
And see it as all our own
