I II-revel the night O' Saint Absurdia this is the end distant and cold like raping a mannequin you're not my friend children play you scoff and laugh how'd you end up like that solace in death O' strange oblivion what will it cost turn on the lights cynic the fearful rat what heart you lost this isn't new imbecilic irony passed off as wit funnel the piss into each others mouth all smeared in shit sunrise you're making fun she'll never really come III-I lost my girl to Vice I lost my girl somewhere in the pages I watched them in the club flop around like fishes on the beaches on the speakers on the stages cross your arms cross your arms I love your scathing wit stay witty stay pretty stay skinny I love the way you use the english language to convey irony don't let the emptiness seep into your scene you look good don't worry IV V- sincerity is missing the status quo is getting younger why do I feel like we're running out of time I've been worried since this fever gripped my mind what we call change at this point seems catastrophic maybe I'm being melodramatic but I don't think so there's no understanding so many ways to lose you death and me go way back when I was a kid mother mary scared me the nighttime never did traipse across the earth to find profound confusion VI
