lyrics

Handsplain to the arms-end, Don’t call it hand, it’s a Body
Pointing to the obvious and barricades less facts circumvent
Quick reflex triggered fingers, pistol whip your first reaction
Palm off alt-deliverance. Who would bite a hand content?

I’m not looking for a blind side, I’ll not witness what is missing
Out of sight on leaps of faith, I hope for other than abyss
My comfort looks like confidence, am I flying? Am i in freefall?
Here’s the winking charlatan blows a one-eyed Judas kiss

Who smelt it first dealt it, it’s funny how the stink can stick
It knows of my anxiety, catastrophe and blame
Would you know if you’re off the scent?
Would you come up smelling roses?
We’re disordered by the odour setting free the lizard brain

Hear a whisper in the ether, sound appears on skin of drum
Chorus warns with worried words, I’ll take these words as fact
All theses echos all around me, no silence from the doublethink
Hissing earworm, endless tinnitus, reverberates unchecked

Take a lick, is it poison? Do I let it pass these lips?
Am I sated at the first taste? Do I crave the shit I eat?
Chewing more, it’s a practice. Will I swallow speaking tongues ?
What satisfies the appetite? Sweet and sour or deceit

‘You catch more flies with honey
quicker than with vinegar
but bullshit is better than both’*

*A Moore, Jerusalem
