lyrics

Large garbage piling up in the corners,
the stench is seeping into the hall now
when the sun is red
and most overhead.

Cooking up all the muck
and the grime now,
we’re stirring up a soup
we’ll soon find out
the taste we made with our rage
as the waste of our residual fates
metastasizes and propagates.

Simultaneously growing and rotting–
the cruel hand of time is not stopping
for me or you,
it’s just doom and bloom.

All the time in and out of my mind–
always winding up just to unwind
the carousel of heaven and hell
goes round and round
but we know that we’re bound to
spill over, unsure of what it all amounts to.

Just wanna be fresh and sweet,
you and me, clean as can be,
though who knows where it all goes?
“Out of sight, out of mind”
won’t work this time.
I can’t see, sky’s been screened
from my eyes,
dense as an ancient forest,
like large garbage
stuck in orbit.

I don’t need a clean slate,
just some rest and a hot plate.
I don’t need to stay the course,
having strayed I can see the hidden claymores

set up for me and you to ensnare us
in some pyramid scheme just to scare us
and make a couple bills
off of our free will.

Large garbage piling up in the corners.
will we persevere or drown as hoarders
of all things faded and antiquated?
how the past piles up
and has you mistaking
what’s right before your eyes
and what’s beyond the horizon.

As the pile builds and plumes
and further occludes your view,
you’ll know what to do:
Ignore the issue
just like you’re used to,
until one day you choose to
give into or dig through
this great wall of refuse,
you’ll know what to do:
Claw your way out
where the light slips through.
then we can see, sky’s been freed
for our eyes, cleared of years of bias–
now I’m not pious,
so I don’t think they’ll buy this.

I can’t seem to shake it off
no matter what I tell myself.
Well, it’s okay, I’ll just think and pray
and hope that my hope won’t dissipate.

Large garbage piling up in the corners,
the stench is seeping into the hall now
when the sun is red
and most overhead.

Cooking up all the muck
and the grime now,
we’re stirring up a soup
we’ll soon find out
the taste we made with our rage
as the waste of our residual fates
metastasizes and propagates.
