lyrics

~
To have all of these thoughts. These are real people.
Living like reality is objective.

We know who you really are.

That man is not a geneticist, nor a purveyor of what could be called
“the new love”, “the joy of winning”, the “whatever’s left over from the beginning”.

How to sell an error. How to praise a misinterpretation.
How to eat your fingers off.

Stand bereft, but don’t expect the swollen weight of their respect.
And given their track record, they would hardly think to object.

Finding it hard? And thinking it’s dull?
Yourself, reimagined, but without a skull
or a face, or your nice shoes that you wear.

Just a pair of gloved hands holding a full length mirror.
Just a tired set of teeth chewing a piece of leather.
Just an overlong sentence. Just an overripe plum.
Just an overdue deference and it’s done when it’s done.

Just a piece of paper.

Life is not good. Who’d wish to live?
All I see is bodies adrift.
Smiling. All smiling. Lots and lots of lips.

Oh my god, where do they come from?
Is it some kind of religion? Or political party?

The observatory.

Sit yourself down. All real people.
Objectivity. Oh, reality.
All of these thoughts.
All of these thoughts.
