lyrics

The infirmary is full
of feeble minds
crying for water
but we give to who
and when
and what we want
painless and tidy

in the back room
nail file, itch, scratch
the brim of an open heart
Unbound inside
open to the outside

can't you see your lying
in cots with rotting bodies
lie awake thinking of headlines,
real estate, and trophies
nuzzle your head
in the crevice of a managed stage

murmur maids awing at the gold plate
pinned to your white shirt
while the doors are being pounded
by bloodied wounded outside

can you hear boy?
the echo of injure,
screeches through iron walls
so dost love
even more dost love

can't you see your lying
in cots with rotting bodies
lie awake thinking of headlines,
real estate, and trophies
nuzzle your head
in the crevice of a managed stage

manage the stage
perhaps it will go away
how many heads
will you tread upon
will you carry on
