Obscura Hail - Paper Rock (Future City Punks Remix)

Crash Test Dummy

Macrame

I grew up thinking that I could be anything
anyone anywhere, spinning a globe, pointing a finger
"that's where I'll go. I'll be a singer"
telling the world that nothing is sweeter than
swallowing swords, or breathing fire
death will ignore me and I'll be inspired
utterings names, born in my image


I was taught to believe that underneath everything
passing the in-between, we settle down
our ego will let go, and with it, the crown
sharp edges and poisons insignia carvings
illusions of grandeur, a much higher calling
nod to ventriloquists tied to a string,
too, you are but a material thing

you and I share a history
of blood and guts and misery
but after the violence we're back in the quiet

pregnant with seedlings, the charm of the earth
bewitching the worries that form in the mind
following water from mountain to river
splitting apart to meet back together
matriarch gnosis, gathering time
children of women and cataclysm

you and I share a history
of blood and guts and misery
but after the violence we're back in the quiet
seeing things that you would not believe

nothing is sweeter than
swallowing swords, or breathing fire
death will ignore me and I'll be inspired
utterings names, born in my image

Swallowing Swords

born too late for real adventure
born too early for the world to remember
just in time to a watch a dumpster fire

chestnuts roasting on a dumpster fire
back to our medieval ways
I just can't see a way out of this mess

but who gave you permission to do it? to lead us to ruin?
they may argue it was inevitable, that we had it comin'

can't get round and we cannot go over
digging right through could take forever so
lets ask the ghost in the machine

got a long way to go climbing out of this valley
shaking hands with the rocks, and making a human being


but who gave you permission to do it? to lead us to ruin?
they may argue it was inevitable, that we had it comin'
makin' a knuckle sandwich
givin each other brain damage
just another punchline
in this American pastime

just can't see a way out of this mess
