about
Well, this song was borderline topical as it was written around the time of the US presidential election. I stumbled on my Scott Walker impersonation while doing the demo vocals, and never even tried to redo them.
lyrics
Your feverish mind
Enriches hyperbole
Into weapons grade plutonium
Unholy communion
A last ditch attempt
To stave off the inevitable
It's like grinding rocks to pebbles
With your bare hands
Functioning grey matter
In steep decline
We wait in the dark
For the spell to be broken
Lounge after hours
No longer beholden
Rest in peace
We know - you never will
Time will cease
We know - against your will
Your downward spiral
Leaves you cold and unwanted
Even among the elites
You call friends
Functioning grey matter
In steep decline
We wait in the dark
For the spell to be broken
Lounge after hours
No longer beholden
Rest in peace
We know - you never will
Time will cease
We know - against your will
