I was waiting in line for the first time. Itching and aching to get what was mine. Hopefully they have my size. And I just thought but how could I? I got a brain stem planted in my spine. What's that scalpel for? Now the blood, the gauze, my natural fight. I got a painful shot between my eyes. The shame I feel it now. It's been eight long weeks since the surgery. Rehearsing the repertoire of my brand new mind. Weighed down by the burden of time. All I needs a slow parade to feel the joy everyday. Beautiful brass marching in the sun and I was one just the same as them, the mindless mass. A pore upon your skin.

You got another thing coming. You got another thing coming. They been fighting hard for the dollar. Lie and steel and cheat and spit. They're hardly even men anymore, anymore. You got another thing coming. You got another thing coming.

How would it be if I was the head on your mantle? The bones dug up, the missing link? There was a ghost in the desert with your pretty face.

Mother T-Rex 02:37
Oh when I told her I was a Virgo she said she never would have guessed. We'd match up perfectly she drunkenly suggests as she stumbles back home. I've ran fast and hard from the ones I love. I'm holding on to you so tight. I've ran fast and hard from the one I love. I'm holding on to you. I heard she never made it home that night. She was destined to die alone. Now she's nothing but a campfire story around Philadelphia. I've ran fast and hard from the ones I love. I'm holding on to you so tight. I've ran fast and hard from the one I love. I'm holding on to you.

There's a man in a smiling bag. The owls are not what they seem. Without chemicals, he points.

Rust on my fingers, blisters on my toes. Searching through the forest wearing bear traps for clothes. I gotta say that it works sometimes. I gotta say that it works sometimes. Do spiders blame God as they're devoured by their mates? And scream out "the meaning has always been fake!" Do you think the full moon was meant to guide my path? Or is someone up there laughing with a spotlight in his hand? Do spiders blame God as they're devoured by their mates? And scream out "the meaning has always been fake!" You're never gonna have it if you give it away. Your body's gonna quiver when they take it away from you. You're never gonna have it if you give it away. Your body's gonna quiver when they take it away from you. I gotta say that it works sometimes. I gotta say that it works sometimes. I gotta say that it works sometimes. I gotta say that it works sometimes.

King Coati 03:22
What would you say if I was keeping oxygen from your brain? I was gonna be the heart beat coming, I was gonna be the heart attack. Heart! heart! heart! Burst out of your chest and take you away. I was gonna be the heart beat coming, I was gonna be the heart attack. Heart! Heart! Heart! Baby, I never told you that I would be your friend. Anxiety is gonna be the key that sets me free. I'll be speeding up your palpitations. I'll be clogging up your arteries. Arteries! No kind of glycerine can get to me before I begin. I'm tugging at your heart strings. Yeah, you might as well put away your medicine! Baby, I never told you that I would be your friend. What do you say? Now the oxygens left from your brain. I was gonna be the heartbeat coming. Now I'm just gonna be the one to stop! stop! stop! I'm watching as the ambulance takes you away. I was gonna be the heart beat coming. Now I'm just a little heart attack. Heart attack! Baby, I never told you that I would be your friend.
