lyrics

I pee in sinks…
I think it saves water,
I know it’s kind of gross
I don’t know why I still do it…

I’m human
As fuck

I’m hard to deal with
I pick my nose more often than I swallow my spit;
Suck my teeth every tenth breath or so…

I feel most comfortable sleeping with my back to the wall
Life has made this a comfortable position…

I hate arachnids but love small dark spaces
I am a sorcerer who refuses to work with deamons
Most days I don’t keep up on my personal hygiene

My facial hair constantly questions the purpose and nature of its existence
I can hear its talking through its roots like a tin can on a string
My brain still doesn’t know if I’m conscious of it or not; nor am I

The sun still won’t stay out of my house
No matter how many veils I close
The darkness is too fleeting to hold any power of its own…

Letting the light in is difficult
when you know of the dusty house that lies
beneath the shadows

my meat suit stinks as often as I let it…
wreaks of mortality and modern preservatives…
disgusting things, we are…

peeing in sinks,
washing our hands and flushing simultaneously…
smiling as we do so…
