lyrics

Here I come, cleanliness,
clearing off all of this old mess.
All of these joints in arms,
insusceptible to your charms.
Call all my teachers,
see how to reach her.
Blame it on the evenings.

You offer me this pill,
and I think I will.
My feet are so deep
in the roots of this tree.
Then I will knight you.
Then I won’t fight you.
It slides right down my throat,
and right through me.

This is your glowing heart,
a beacon in my eye.
This is how the city
stays so bright tonight.

Fame will pain me,
exposure will drain me.
Then they will see us.
Faith in the obvious.
Craning my neck to see
ravers on ecstasy.
Flesh is all I can be.
