Faster - Live at the Astoria, December 1994

This is dedicated to all of us stoned
It's called faster

I am an architect, they call me a butcher
I am a pioneer, they call me a primitive
I am purity, they call me perverted
Holding you but I only miss these things when they leave

I am idiot drug hive, the virgin, the tattered and the torn
Life is for the cold made warm and they are just lizards
Self-disgust is self-obsession, honey, I do as I please
A morality obedient, only to the cleansed repented

I am stronger than Mensa
Miller and mailer, I spat out plath and pinter
I am all the things that you regret
A truth that washes, that learnt how to spell

The first time you see yourself naked, you cry
Soft skin, no acne, foul breath, so broken
He loves me truly, this mute solitude I'm draining
I know I believe in nothing but it is my nothing

Sleep can't hide the thoughts splitting through my mind
Shadows aren't clean, false mirrors, too many people awake
If you stand up like a nail then you will be knocked down
Been too honest with myself, I should have lied like everybody else

I am stronger than Mensa
Miller and mailer, I spat out plath and pinter
I am all the things that you regret
A truth that washes, that learnt how to spell
Learnt how to spell

So damn easy to cave in, man kills everything
So damn easy to cave in, man kills everything
So damn easy to cave in, man kills everything
So damn easy to cave in, man kills everything
