Deca, Neon Brown - Wendigo lyrics
[Deca, Neon Brown - Wendigo lyrics]
The dead increase their invisible honey
Remember
Woke up with the conviction
I could change things
Every dream’s a variation on the same theme
In the machine where blood money remains king
The gluttonous hold court and
Lick their plate clean
A song bird in a cage sings
To usher in a new dawn and
The promise that the day brings
First thing’s first, fire up the ship
Equipped with the intravenous dark roast drip
My skull’s thick
I learned to turn lead to gold bricks
With skills to pay the phone bill
And keep the stove lit
And roll with the brick roads twist
Quick to snatch Caiaphas off his
Pulpit where lost souls drift
Somethin’ tapped the glass of my fish bowl
And for a moment I could
See it clear as crystal
We’re inchin’ toward the edge
Check your head smell the coffee grinds
Put the savior complex to bed
Woke up with the conviction
I could change things
Every dream’s a variation on the same theme
In the machine where blood money remains king
The gluttonous hold court and
Lick their plate clean
I've finally been processed
They made me adjust to modern times
I'm cured of fantasy obsession
Paranoid delusions i master words
Blind man, lost man
Dyin’ on the cross man, revolutionary man
Self-righteous man pointin’ fingers at
The next man
Madman runnin’ from an agent with a gun
And badge somewhere in the badlands
Sacred hands shaped the world laid to waste
Tomorrow’s sacrificed for today’s paper chase
There’s flies on the drywall
Closed circuit all-seeing eyeballs
Keepin’ close watch while the sky falls
The same snake that said
"turn stones to bread"
Is workin’ ‘round the clock to mine
The data in your head somethin’s gotta give
Bend, break or shift, take your pick
Watch ‘em sit and pull the wings
Off a seraphim for kicks
And build Babel Towers, to pass the hours
With high-tech tools at their
Fingertips like magic powers
Young grasshop' cast your mask off
Rocked to sleep by the men that fleece
A sheepfold of have nots
Woke up with the conviction
We could change things
Every dream’s a variation on the same theme
In the machine where blood money remains king
The gluttonous hold court and
Lick their plate clean
Cannibals eat America
You don’t forget the taste of human flesh
Are you quite sure that the tribe
You’re talking about are cannibals?
We’re receiving signals loud and clear
The shadow was growing
They cut right to the ground
The shadow stayed whole
They laid boards on it
The shadow came out on top
They shown lights on it
The shadow got blacker, clearer
They looked the other way, it went on growing
It got into eyes, the eyes went blind
The ones that fell down
It grew over and they vanished
The shadow was not filled, it went on growing
There’s a world now where people
Are in a contest
Tryin’ to see who can get enough
Power to destroy the world first
It ain’t even fit for a fable
But it’s a real story
Remember
Woke up with the conviction
I could change things
Every dream’s a variation on the same theme
In the machine where blood money remains king
The gluttonous hold court and
Lick their plate clean
A song bird in a cage sings
To usher in a new dawn and
The promise that the day brings
First thing’s first, fire up the ship
Equipped with the intravenous dark roast drip
My skull’s thick
I learned to turn lead to gold bricks
With skills to pay the phone bill
And keep the stove lit
And roll with the brick roads twist
Quick to snatch Caiaphas off his

Somethin’ tapped the glass of my fish bowl
