I am a sick man I'm an unattractive man A wicked man I don't know the least of my sickness or what exactly ails me I've lived like this for a long time now Confined to a corner Neither wicked nor good Neither happy nor sad Neither a hero nor an insect Taunted by contradictions Replaying black memories Frozen in place With no one to turn to And nothing to turn into There is a place on the moor Where I would wander with my eyes closed Reeling; lost in something new Frequencies lapped in the calm But buried in calm, there was chaos bloom Craving stimulation Recall a mask reflected in the mire Indifferent as the mushroom cloud caught fire It barks that I need to hide away now But that's a bit Prone like a snake in the grass Fatally stowed as the bangs resume This war innate and ancient Running like hell in a trance I got to get home for the curfew sound It cuts through all the suffering Still see your face reflected in the mire Indifferent as the mushroom cloud caught fire You bark that I will need find a way out My conscience screams to find a way Die is cast, all is born this evening Your exodus erupting for no reason Your atom bomb had come to rescue me right out the Mind-state 17 too pure to deserve The conscience screams to find a way Let me explain The pride comes from the feeling that you've hit the ultimate wall That, bad as it is, there is no way out But you, you're still young You might still seek out the root of the dread And undo it Don't talk don't groan You've done enough Don't waste your love on me Each cell an abscess Die is cast, all is born this evening Your exodus erupted for no reason That atom bomb had come to rescue me right out the Mind-state 17 The conscience screams to find a way
