lyrics

i pierced the gorgon's eye/with the dagger of my mind
and hollowed out his spine/and bathed in bloody wine

once, twice, three times i bowed to you
four, five, six times you fail to notice

i danced the pagan waltz/gave in to all my faults
i fancied all their cults/dug the silver applesauce

once, twice, three times i sought the truth
four, five, six times you sputtered lies

i see you grinning
from your throne of revolution
forcing an opinion
down the throat of everyone you know

i dreamt of an escape/a pig's bladder time machine
to when you knew my name/and called it frequently

once, twice, three times let blood for you
four, five, six time you spit it out

i see you spinning
on the stool of disillusion
say one in a million
the chance i never got to
see now that you're winning
in the polls of sick corruption
forcing up an onion
for all the world to see your guts

"i remember leaves singing songs through the breeze
i remember wind harmonizing through trees
i remember dan saving skulls in a jar
i remember liz painting murals of stars
have you been born?"
