lyrics

Oh, it's dark in here and cold
I walk softly now, if I ever walk at all
Here there be dragons, so I'm told
So never look too closely, child
At the inside of your skull

It's nature's cruelest joke, my friend
A prison we're born into
Before we even learn what crime is
To each, alone until the end
Locked in here behind my eyes
Guessing at my sin

Give me noise to keep me sane
Medusa's gaze brings peace of mind
From this vessel spirit drain
To dissipate among mankind

Abaddon sleeps above my spine
Thoughts will char the reckless soul
Who tries to claim them for his own
Pandora, waiting for a sign
Seems to me these big brains
Are like the soldier killed by his own gun

It's so much easier this way
Watching on the small screen
I can see from every side
There's always one thing more to say
The self fulfilling prophecy never has to lie

If pictures cost 1,000 words
Drown me in a pixelled flood
I want to rub against the herd
Bread and circus in the mud
