lyrics

Bless you for inviting me to speak
My work has echoed in obscurity
For far too long now

It deals, of course, with the ailment known as Tar
You know I'd like to suggest (you know he’d like to suggest)
That it doesn't touch our temperament

So close your eyes and throw yourself
In the place of another

Oh please don't let this be my eulogy to humanity
A concept so foregone:
There once arose a school of thought
Slowly eroded, they believed in the greatest good
For the greatest number,
There was no fine print
No self-indulgent, overpopulated paranoid deportation

You know that time separates
So lonely is division
We’re lost in mind

Our plight demonstrates
Subjective is our vision
We're lost in mind

Time separates
Lonely is division
Now we're lost in mind

There was no fine print
No self-indulgent, overpopulated paranoid deportations

You know that all of my research suggests
This toxic turn away
From our humanity
Was unfounded

Well I acquired and breathed
The dark air into my lungs
And yes, there were effects but
They were all aesthetic

Confirming what you've known
Deep down all along
The sickness is social

(And they're a product of mistreatment
Well worth redeeming)

Why won’t you sever my thread?

Backed into a corner
Your ignorance was bearing down on me
I am one of them
And you are the monsters
