lyrics

seemingly harmless in an image
tame and inviting in a little
while he’ll try to test the waters

carefully dressed anticipating
more than a guess at where he’s taking
all of the victims in his viscid path

cool, collected and advancing
full of deception in his dancing

truth is irrelevant
you’re not oblivious
to your malevolent design
in your cold greedy mind

i have no reservations and few limitations
i cannot stand it any

keep your shallow words to yourself
hedging your bets on any change
holding your breathe to numb the pain

curse your sallow visage to hell
carry a flag of hollow shame
singing your elegies in the rain

sharpen your teeth and hide the edges
shape up your face for every ounce of
justification underneath your breath

carefully crawl into their shelter
carcinogenic with no other
selfish objective than to make it last

cool, collected and advancing
full of deception in his dancing

truth is irrelevant
you’re not oblivious
to your malevolent design
in your cold greedy mind

keep your shallow words to yourself
curse your sallow visage to hell
hedging your bets on any change
holding your breathe to numb the pain
carry a flag of hollow shame
singing your elegies in the rain

keep your ad hoc ethics in your
bent and padlocked ersatz person
tell all the world about your pain
stepping on others to make a stage
label depravity “small mistakes”
bury your crimes in a shallow grave

live in the dark
planning your games
a thousand furtive lies
from your wild mane

feed the spark eat the flame
you only leave your grinding teeth
and your heavy head alone to blame

truth is irrelevant
you’re not oblivious
to your malevolent design
in your cold greedy mind
