lyrics

Today I found that the future
is as dead as frozen nature
And only with hope
Can tragedy seem distant
Put my sleeping pill teeth in
Find something sharp again
You say that Sylvia would be
Proud of my system, but the

Teenage murder freaks
Are on the TV once again
Arms around an actress
With their organs being fed
They are grotesques of humanity
Impossibly thin

And passionate in beauty, still
(I just want them)
Smoke inside a glass house, still
(I just want them)
Reaching for the new M1's
I just want them dead

Your rag doll presence
Never tainted my existance
Fail to move, fail to love
Fail to kill what you despise
All perfect consumers
The attackers aren't abusers
It's the empty pangs of happiness
That try thumb shut your eyes, but

"Love has set you going like a fat gold watch"

But we are nothing, we kill blonds
Our manifesto, our demands
Everything you've ever loved before this date
Has just been wrond
Killed by an atrocity to
Decadence and fame

For though I realized it
I never learnt your name
And though you seem to like it
You're all so fucking tame

But the

Teenage murder freaks
Are on the TV once again
Arms around an actress
While their organs go insane
They are grotesques of humanity
Impossibly vain

And passionate in beauty, still
(I just want them)
Smoke inside a glass house, still
(I just want them)
Reaching for the new M1's
I just want them dead

I just want them dead...

"If you die horribly on television, you will not have died in vain. You will have entertained us."

I can't see you
From this distance
Though I can hear you through
The powdery air
For though you try
You're never too persistent
And though the grasses do heal
They cut me more...

But I am
Neither good nor evil
Neither here nor there

For I am
Neither good nor evil

I'm the one thing you can't destroy.
