Watch the Aspidistra Fly

I have come to realize
There ain't nothing in this town that can't be bought
If not with money and illusions
Then with some kind of dirty rotten wrought
Walking to the anthem but did I ever stop
To look and breathe and smell
Keep me like my shoulders
Keep my head above the water in the well

Just hang around the offices
They surely know what time it is all the time
If you ask me bloody cousin
Well to me that don't seem like it's worth a dime
Don't just throw the towel in
Throw down the accordion and all the brass
Just don't throw in your oxygen
Potassium magnesium and eyes

Breathing in your coffin
While an LED screen dreams you off to sleep
Walking around in circles over molehills
With two back to front feet
Brother I was seeing to my self-destruction
With a perseverance unto an unholy fault
Try to teach myself that waterfalls
Do not waterfall

Planets giant mandible will rear
And cannibal itself alive
The loss of one little insect would turn out to be
Our complete demise
But I'd crush you like a bug
Just to dream that one day this world will be mine
Thinking for a second that I'd be thinking of ever
Leaving you behind

Well that kind of thinking
Slowly takes your heart and soul
And it quickly takes your mind
If you go a looking for what you're searching
But you don't seem to find
Well I can only say to you
You did not look hard enough
As it takes to look for what you got inside

Lord
Let it rain your breath
O Lord
Let it rain your breath

People find all kinds of reasons
To be cheating and disbelieving for cheap thrills
Some things people be doing
Man it really truly gives me chills
To be thinking and feeling all the days
You just wish you could go and spill
To be feeling it enough to go out in the world
And want to go and kill

Giving kids delusions that their hands
And feet and blood is all they got
Well I'm here right now to tell you
Here's the message friend
It is not
Are they paying any attention
All the information's blanked out anyway
But they'll soon be out here searching
So be watching just exactly what you say

Hold onto your world but one day very soon
This world will be mine
Don't be thinking for a second that I'd
Ever be leaving anyone behind

Aliens can watch us while the animals are
Feeding us their time
If you ask me sister I can say
I don't think that's worth a dime

Lord
Let it rain your breath
O Lord
Let it rain your breath
