Lyrics

Expiled
Forgot to breath
He looks too concerned
You bury the lede

Mad Cow!
Or some disease
Crank the walls and
Gimme a squeeze

Sucked it all
Sweet and salt
Pool every pore
With the stick
Of your mouth

Hard-wired
Tongue it like a child
In search of some biography
Some half-baked odyssey
Engulfed in geography
This is our prodigy

Push back
No come close to me
Drape your weight on me
Until I can’t breath

Mad Cow!
Or some disease
Crank the walls and
Gimme a squeeze

Sucked it all
Sweet and salt
Pool every pore
With the stick
Of your mouth

Hard-wired
Hot-handed junkies
Tell me of your suffering
Then tell me something funny

Mad cow!
I gotta disease
If you can’t cum in me
Cum in the street

Tongue it like a child
In search of conquering something
Maybe the space between teeth

Atrophied marrow
Gum posed as skin
The only bit left
Somehow still

Smooth as glass
Raw and hideous
Like a newborn sparrow

Cream, cream, cream
Cream and mantle
Like a standing pond

Too quick to be coy
Surprised at your own pleasure
Are you raw and hideous
Enough to be pure

You scan, what’s next
A life imprinted
In dirt beneath nail

Cream, cream, cream
Cream and mantle
Like a standing pond

It’s a temporary
Accommodative dysfunction
A pitiless embrace
After so long
After never having been

The sting!
When you realize
The last one was a while ago
