Consumed
Banality queued for another McFix
Shrink-wrapped skulls down knee deep in neon sick
Pornography of passions cherishing the cheapest sleaze
And amplified to asinine to fit each febrile need
The crowds in the bar cackle
Swilling back sadness
Mass-produced faces all wreathed in barbed words
A sea of trimmed grins coats sensations in plastic
With sick drowning sips they return to their herd
All dreaming spikes in some stark melody
Democracy malnourished, and dispassion selling cheap
Sobriety crumbles like dust under rain
Sublime sacrificed for familiar inane
So smile, smile, smile for the camera now
Smile just to pretend that you care
Mindless, merciless, mannequin glances
Formaldehyde tears in the varnished glare
Heads say you win and tails say I lose
It seems we adore the same things we abuse
Reaping the sugar and retching out salt
Flooding your skulls with the filth you exalt
The jewels in your purses were only stolen stars
Scratching tender air in some multiplayer farce
Injected wishes wash out, devalue, dissolve
But a doctor or a diet and the fucking problem's solved
All dreaming spikes in some stark melody
Democracy malnourished, and dispassion selling cheap
Sobriety crumbles like dust under rain
Sublime sacrificed for familiar inane
So smile, smile, smile for the camera now
Smile just to pretend that you care
Mindless, merciless, mannequin glances
Formaldehyde tears in the varnished glare
Punch holes through the butterfly wing up above us
And laugh when the last pale love clots in the grey
Neurotic souls neutered by neat narcissism
Paying like praying in endless cliché
All dreaming spikes in some stark melody
Democracy malnourished, and dispassion selling cheap
Sobriety crumbles like dust under rain
Sublime sacrificed for familiar inane
So smile, smile, smile for the camera now
Smile just to pretend that you care
Mindless, merciless, mannequin glances
Formaldehyde tears in the varnished glare
Paying like praying in endless cliché
Paying like praying in endless cliché
Paying like praying in endless cliché
Paying like praying in endless cliché
Shrink-wrapped skulls down knee deep in neon sick
Pornography of passions cherishing the cheapest sleaze
And amplified to asinine to fit each febrile need
The crowds in the bar cackle
Swilling back sadness
Mass-produced faces all wreathed in barbed words
A sea of trimmed grins coats sensations in plastic
With sick drowning sips they return to their herd
All dreaming spikes in some stark melody
Democracy malnourished, and dispassion selling cheap
Sobriety crumbles like dust under rain
Sublime sacrificed for familiar inane
So smile, smile, smile for the camera now
Smile just to pretend that you care
Mindless, merciless, mannequin glances
Formaldehyde tears in the varnished glare
Heads say you win and tails say I lose
It seems we adore the same things we abuse
Reaping the sugar and retching out salt
Flooding your skulls with the filth you exalt
The jewels in your purses were only stolen stars
Scratching tender air in some multiplayer farce
Injected wishes wash out, devalue, dissolve

All dreaming spikes in some stark melody
Democracy malnourished, and dispassion selling cheap
Sobriety crumbles like dust under rain
Sublime sacrificed for familiar inane
So smile, smile, smile for the camera now

Punch holes through the butterfly wing up above us
And laugh when the last pale love clots in the grey
Neurotic souls neutered by neat narcissism
Paying like praying in endless cliché
All dreaming spikes in some stark melody
Democracy malnourished, and dispassion selling cheap
Sobriety crumbles like dust under rain
Sublime sacrificed for familiar inane
So smile, smile, smile for the camera now
Smile just to pretend that you care
Mindless, merciless, mannequin glances
Formaldehyde tears in the varnished glare
Paying like praying in endless cliché
Paying like praying in endless cliché
Paying like praying in endless cliché
Paying like praying in endless cliché
