Soundgarden - Drawing Flies (2016 Remaster) lyrics

Flies

Sitting here like uninvited company
Wallowing in my own obscenities
I share a cigarette with negativity
Sitting here like wet ashes with
X's in my eyes and drawing flies

Bathed in perspiration drowned my enemies
Used my inspiration for a guillotine
I fire a loaded mental cannon to the page
Leaning on the pedestal that
Holds my self denial
Firing the pistol that shoots my holy pride
Sitting here like wet ashes with
X's in my eyes and drawing flies

Hey! What you yelling
About conditions, permission
Mirrored self-affliction
Hey! What you yelling
About sadists, co-addiction
Perfect analogies hey! What you yelling
About conditions, permission
Mirrored self-affliction

Leaning on the pedestal that
Holds my self denial
Firing the pistol that shoots my holy pride
Sitting here like wet ashes with
X's in my eyes and drawing flies
