PACIFICATION FOR ALL  YOUR PAIN AND SUFFERING  I CAN’T GET CAUGHT IN ANOTHER LIE I’D REALLY LIKE TO CHANGE BUT I DON’T WANT TO LIVE ANOTHER LIFE I’D REALLY LIKE TO HELP NO I CAN’T GET CAUGHT IN ANOTHER LIE I’D LIKE TO MAKE A CHANGE  BUT I DON’T WANT TO LIVE ANOTHER LIFE

lyrics
DEAD MELODIES NO ONE CAN EVER REPLACE  WHAT WE’VE NOW GIVEN FOR FREE TAKE THE TIME TO RETRACE  COLLECT AND REWIND THE TAPES REEL THEM IN CASE BY CASE REDACT AND SEND THEM AWAY OUT INTO EMPTY DEEP SPACE CONSIDER IT A COUPE DE GRACE WHO’S LISTENING ANYWAY? TO THE SPACE BETWEEN THE NOTES FOR THE GHOST IN THE MACHINE  LET THE STATIC PREVAIL  ALL AROUND ARE DEAD MELODIES DEAD MELODIES RINGING IN MY HEAD DEAD MELODIES DEAD MELODIES RINGING IN MY HEAD WE’VE COME FACE TO FACE WITH THE DOLDRUMS OF OUR AGE FALLING IN LOVE WITH THE CHASE  AFRAID TO BE OUT OF PLACE RUNNING THE RAT RACE BLACK DEATH AND  DEAD MELODIES DEAD MELODIES RINGING IN MY HEAD DEAD MELODIES DEAD MELODIES RINGING IN MY HEAD

TO REPEL GHOSTS WOKE UP THIS MORNING  SLOWLY SIFTING THROUGH THE FOG STILL TRYING TO MAKE THE PIECES FIT WITH A DISSONANCE ISOLATING IN MY BRAIN BURNING A PATHWAY FOR THE NAKED EYE IT LAYS IN WAITING WAS I TOO BLIND? IT FORMS A HABIT AND CLOUDS MY MIND EVER SINCE YOU WAVED GOODBYE EVERYTHING I’VE EVER DONE HAS BEEN TO REPEL THE GHOST COFFIN KEYHOLE PUPILS  SPEAKERS FOR THE DEAD SIFTING THROUGH DELIRIUM  LACKING HOSPICE FOR A COLLAPSED LUNG A KNIFE TO PUNCTURE BREATHING HOLES
