From the recording Von Economo
Lyrics
Take your obsessions in other directions
Your worries get fueled by misapprehension
Interpreting badly your body’s reaction
Not farfetched when grenades are concussion
With a camera in your microwave
Beware yourself, it’s what you crave
Thumbing words to your friends
The tethering never ends
Lobotomize the liars, excise the flaws
Comfort the criers, retracting the claws
The priests and the friars hold—safe in their arms?
“Wait until the crowd cries”
Honey says, “walk barefoot, look out for the shards”
Grass soft on the wide side can turn and cut hard
Honey says “walk barefoot” and I went too far
Edges, flip the record, stab the meat
Side one is a screw loose
Side two is defeat
Side three is machinery rattling around
Till it goes off the rails, try to batten it down
Side four is instrumental
With a camera in your microwave
Beware yourself, it’s what you crave
Thumbing words to your friends
The tethering never ends
Wait until the crowd cries
Honey says “walk barefoot, look up at the stars”
Vast velvet blanket pokes holes in the scars
Honey says “walk barefoot,” and I went too far
