A Life in the Corn Syrup Lyrics by Blackbird Raum

Purse-Seine

0

Every fucking night I grind my teeth
The world spins faster and faster
How I wish that it would stop
In the dirty light of morning
I begin to wretch
Slabs of concrete everywhere
Poison water, poison air
In the window of a passing bus
I see my reflection
Staring back at myself
Is just like watching television
People pass me by
Staring blankly forward
Billboards keep me company
As the numbered streets, like years, go by
All I have are steel rails to carry me onward
They wind about this earth, like a snake through grinding the gears
In the center of the gears is a pair of gods:
Progress and technology -- the glittering panopticon
As the wheel stops
As the fortress walls drop
I will plunge my knife
In to the heart of the clock work
This blade will burn
As the electric lights go out
And we remember the teachings of no one
Fucking no one!
Every fucking night I grind my teeth
The world spins faster and faster
How I wish that it would stop
In the dirty light of morning
I begin to wretch
Slabs of concrete everywhere
Poison water, poison air
