Pile - Hairshirt lyrics
[Pile - Hairshirt lyrics]
The dependence saddens and disgusts me
But, I know the leash won't tighten
And I know the eyes won't strain
And not one part of you
Yearns for whatever is beyond
The plot you lawfully purchased
But, I still have a hairshirt of purpose
That I claim to love
I keep it in my closet and dream of the day
That I don it again and
Subsequently set it ablaze
A look further back
I see nothing: no wooded area
No thaw and no freeze
Just scuffs and pinholes
In drywall that's twelve years old pathetic
So I party eremetic
But, I know the leash won't tighten
And I know the eyes won't strain
And not one part of you
Yearns for whatever is beyond
The plot you lawfully purchased
But, I still have a hairshirt of purpose
That I claim to love
I keep it in my closet and dream of the day
That I don it again and
Subsequently set it ablaze
A look further back
I see nothing: no wooded area
No thaw and no freeze
Just scuffs and pinholes
In drywall that's twelve years old pathetic
So I party eremetic
