​of Montreal - Ye, Renew the Plaintiff lyrics

The sacrifice must be for some unknown deity
Babe i just can't get hard for reality
At least not mine your love chariot is like
An immortal bleeding beast and peerless
Can't seem to motivate my heart to function
This age is a bitch that
Burns our dreams so mercilessly
We can only turn away
I wonder can I produce enough heat
To keep our experiment alive
I turned you off
'cause I couldn't cope seeing the
Disappointment in your eyes do it!

Oh Nina
How can I defend myself against this world
That batters me like a retarding cartoon?
It's too sick for salvation
But that word is just a joke

Oh Nina, my mood system is chaos
I'm desperate for something
But there's no human word for it
I should be happy, but
What I feel is corrupted, broken, impotent
And insane

Oh Nina, I've become so hateful
How am I ever going to survive this winter?
I can think of nothing but getting my revenge
Make those fuckers pay
But it's not gonna happen and
It's eating a hole in me eating a hole in me
It's eating a hole eating a hole
Eating a hole in me

In our hive conceit, each suffering repeat
Hostile concession too foul to mention

I've inherited spiritual sanctions for
Some old ancestral crime
It was committed long ago
But the punishment's absolved all
Down the family line
Everyone's so unstable, on my mother's side
And emotionally barren, on my father's side
But tell me how can I attempt to
Atone for somebody else's wilful ignorance?
