Shhhhh Can you picture this room The tubes enter and provide feed Television images of horror Just a little morphine to calm the pain Shhhhh Do you wish you could if I let you? Step on that dragon's tail Speed ahead with lethal intent Let physics take care of the rest Shhhhh Solid to liquid Weakness detected Courage defected A passive look Solid to liquid All keyboards, percussion ben rüsch All vocals ben rüsch

Can you see me? I'm right beside you Can you hear me? My lips sewn shut Was I ever in here? Did you press 'stop' I'm under your foot Your words were cruel Passed up by you Pressed into service Engineered to fail I stand broken and frail Ashes are your life A bottle and a mean whip Ghosts occupy this house Ghosts do not cry

Up is down Death is life I'm so cold The censors are on Please pass through Please pass hate Pour the liquid And alter the state Butterflies in my gut The algorithm lied to me The shadows are long Spiders on drugs The battery is dead Rhesus Jesus Verbal feces Redacted lives Nose dives Redacted lives Redacted lives Redacted lives Redacted lives You were wrong They were wrong God was wrong God was wrong God was wrong Your God was wrong All keyboards, percussion ben rüsch All vocals ben rüsch

7 AM The Machine engages No face in the mirror I’m an ant - a cog Uniformed, I march The concrete slab I strike my head Work until I'm dead They come They remind you Of your place In this hell Undermined, you fall in line You'll all fall in time Submission is inherent Falling by degrees Now, sycophant Crawling on your knees How does it feel? Down in the pipes When the world falls apart Should I feel for you? Coercion is routine A plastic mask And feeling morphine Now, Libertine Bring me the gasoline Light that gasoline. All keyboards, percussion ben rüsch All vocals ben rüsch

How far would you go To mute those who know The fear of the weak It's power that you seek PUSH IT - TRASH HEAD FIGHT IT - TRASH HEAD HATE IT - TRASH HEAD KILL IT - TRASH HEAD Vapid word's your game Herding is your aim The pushing of the word Like the pushing of a turd Bitter names are called The heretics are culled The policies are dud But the money is like blood The bodyguard of lies Will never jeopardize Your trash head of fame Who on earth can you blame (kneeling and praying or standing and thinking....)
