American Standard Lyrics by Uniform

American Standard

2024

A part of me, a part of me
But it can't be me, but it can't be me (But it can't be me)
It can't, it can't
Oh God, it can't, oh God, it can't
This meat on my waist, this meat on my waist
It hangs off my waist, it hangs off my waist (It hangs off my waist)
This meat on my arms, this meat on my arms
It hangs off my arms (It hangs off my arms), it hangs off my arms
This meat on my legs, this meat on my legs
It hangs off my legs, it hangs off my legs
This meat on my face, this meat on my face
It hangs off my face, it hangs off my face (It hangs off my face)
Sweats like I sweat, sweats like I sweat
Cries like I cry, cries like I cry
Reeks like I reek, reeks like I reek
Bleeds like I bleed, bleeds like I bleed
Fills up my home and swallows my bones
(Fills up my home) Fills up my home and swallows my bones
(And swallows my bones)
It's something else, it's something else
It can't be me
Am I not enough? I am not enough
Am I not enough? I am not enough
Everything that you take
Bend beyond the break
Everything that you take
Bend beyond the break
Insect in my hand
It knows only my palm
I know it can think
It needs to understand
Insect in my hand
It knows only my palm
I know it can think
It needs to understand
I am all it will ever know
I am all it will ever see
I am all it will ever touch
I am all it will ever love
And so I tighten
I tighten my hand
It's what I have to say
It's what I have to do
Tell it like it is
Tell it like the truth
It will never fly
'Cause its wings are malformed
It will never fly
'Cause its wings are malformed
'Cause it was born ruined
Like I was born ruined
I am all it will ever know
I am all it will ever see
I am all it will ever touch
I am all it will ever love
And so I tighten
I tighten my hand
It will never suspect
It will never question
It will never leave
The tightening vice of my hand
If released it would fly
If released it would leave
If release it would live
A life without me
I am all it will ever know
I am all it will ever see
I am all it will ever touch
I am all it will ever love
The bug stretches its neck
The bug stretches its neck
Up toward my face
Like my face was a fucking sun
Like my face was a fucking sun
Tighten the hand that feeds
Tighten the hand that takes
Tighten the hand that feeds
Tighten the hand that takes
Tighten the hand until the bones crack
(It will never be enough)
Tighten the hand until the blood runs
(It will never be enough)
Tighten the hand until the heart bursts
(It will never be enough)
Tighten the hand until the bug breaks
(It will never be enough)
Tighten the hand until the bones crack
(It will never be enough)
Tighten the hand until the blood runs
(It will never be enough)
Tighten the hand until the heart bursts
(It will never be enough)
Tighten the hand until the bug breaks
(It will never be enough)
My throat is raw, muscles sore
I am sweat and I am filth and I am failure
My forehead rests on dried piss
And twists of hair, and twists of hair
An acrid film on the water
I'm consumed by the stench of consumption
I staple receipts to my stomach
So I don't, so I don't do it all over again
Carve it into my flesh
So that I, so that I finally remember, remember
Carve it into my flesh
So that I, so that I finally remember, remember
[?]
Carve it (Carve it) Into my flesh (Into my flesh)
So that I (So that I), so that I finally remember (Remember)
Carve it (Carve it) Into my flesh (Into my flesh)
So that I (So that I), so that I finally remember, remember
[?]
