Lyrics
Slime
Staring at the ceiling
Of another empty feeling
Sitting by the window in the pouring rain
Self-destructing organism
Pumping out this sour jism
Through my pale, polluted prism
It’s just all the same
Silent hate pushed under knuckles
And my sanity buckles
Tripping over itself just to get away
Neon insects scuttling round me
That cockroach light has bound me
And I only ever wanted to come out and play
So set a course for nowhere
Slipping out of time
If I offer up my glass to you
You fill it full of slime
I question my sobriety
Integrity and piety
The things I always want to be
Now rust stains the sublime
Pregnant with nothing
Embryonic decay
Gibbering back through gutters
To the splinters and the slaves
Down where we belong
Where we somehow know we’ll stay
Take a hit off that hatred
From the other side of flames
The cruelty around me I will never understand
If God exists I can’t believe it’s turned out like He planned
I stare into the sun until its rays burn me blind
I clot my eyes to block out everything that is unkind
But back there through the distance I can still hear the screams
Of a million mouths crying out the death of their dreams
A black moon carved from slug meat
Where skinned shadows gnaw wet pain
Twenty years from anything
And I’m sat there again
So set a course for nowhere
Slipping out of time
If I offer up my glass to you
You fill it full of slime
I question my sobriety
Integrity and piety
The things I always want to be
Now rust stains the sublime
Pregnant with nothing
Embryonic decay
Gibbering back through gutters
To the splinters and the slaves
Down where we belong
Where we somehow know we’ll stay
Take a hit off that hatred
From the other side of flames
And set a course for nowhere
Slipping out of time
If I offer up my glass to you
You fill it full of slime
I question my sobriety
Integrity and piety
The things I always want to be
Now rust stains the sublime
Pregnant with nothing
Embryonic decay
Gibbering back through gutters
To the splinters and the slaves
Down where we belong
Where we somehow know we’ll stay
Take a hit off that hatred
From the other side of flames
