lyrics

We face the threshold of the day
Dead-eyed, impotent and grey
Our consciousness withers away
Withers away, withers away

And so, we wander and we stray
Padding out our empty days
Until we cease and fade away
And fade away and fade away

And as we wallow in our piss
Seeking out our only bliss
A ripe old age and reminisce
We reminisce, we reminisce

And so, we languish and we die
While looking down from distant skies
A vigilant electric eye
Electric eye, electric

And can you smother your dismay
And camouflage the slow decay
We reinforce the masquerade
And count the pennies that we've saved

An can you say why you persist
All occupations purposeless
A rationale why you exist
Do you exist? Do you exist?

An are you actively employed
All aspirations now destroyed
A tiny sound snuffed by the noise
The endless noise, the endless noise

And did you ever find a way
To freeze the muscles on your face
So that the populace will say
How satisfied you look today

And have you formed an argument
To justify the time you spend
Consuming paste and sucking in
All of the air you should expend

And can you hear the battle-cry?
An insubstantial feeble sigh
Timid, we whisper our good-byes
As we embrace, curl up and die

And on his throne above the din
The evil grinning Monkey King
Surveys his empire of sin
His yellow teeth shine through his grin

And in this sea of empty minds
Still standing tall, with severed spines
A callous joke between the lines
Between the lines, between the lines

And after all the blood is spilt
And as the rays begin to melt
All of the structures that we've built
Convert to silt, convert to silt

And all our failures and our joys
Now long forgotten or destroyed
The planet fades into the void
Into the void, Into the

If you think it's rathe vague
All our effort turned to clay
Will you swallow back your rage?
Or sing your songs within your cage?
