Snakebite

I blew a candle
Out with my brain
And did it leave a stain?
No
Nothing Nothing Nothing
Nothing Nothing Nothing
He shot a mansion
Into his vein
What did he gain?
Nothing Nothing Nothing
Nothing Nothing Nothing

Here on this sofa I will sit
In my fine Italian clothes
Playing music that's been in our heads
Waiting for mine
To implode
It's a nameless gravel road
It snakes between the ashes
Of the palm tress
And the crows

Brothers, sisters
Please observe how in each domicile
There is equipped a military grade gas mask
And a luxurious queen sized bed
This is to promote a state of permanent ecstasy
Just 20 dollars per month and it's all yours
Please, right this way
Come along now, right this way

Sir, you've got a busted taillight
Were you trying to hide your little snake bite
It's impressive, your disguise is skin tight
But your face is disfigured
Here's a video I think you might like
It's how rodents scurry in the sunlight
I remember when we had a good night
We were threading needles
At the gun fight

You must be so exhausted
From your silence

I want to buy you
Your own private island
Somewhere near Thailand
You can play with your brothers and sisters
And pick at the scabs and the blisters

Enough of synthetic amplitude
I want all of this smog out my living room
I want the seeds to be flowers
The years to be hours
The world to be ours
The tumbling of towers
The bitter and sour

You candy cane captive
You're bio-reactive
The palace we're trapped in
Someone find a vaccine
I know what the facts mean
I'm overreacting
The brats are attacking
And I can't relax

As I start to soar away
You're lost in the pages of a magazine
The view is much better from 10,000 miles away
I don't care
So long
You've been rolling your eyes back
In front of the screen
